# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar until sugar dissolves. Stir in garlic and ginger until aromatic.
02 -
Add chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove wings from marinade and reserve liquid. Arrange wings in a single layer on the sheet.
04 -
Season wings with salt and pepper. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown, crispy, and internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Transfer baked wings to a bowl, pour warm glaze over them, and toss to coat thoroughly. Serve immediately while hot and glossy.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Allow wings to marinate overnight for optimal flavor absorption and deeper caramelization during baking.
02 -
Glaze should be warm when tossed with wings to ensure proper coating and a glossy finish.
03 -
Use a meat thermometer to confirm internal temperature reaches 165°F for food safety.
