ingredients
3 pounds chicken wings
10 ounces soy sauce
46 ounces pineapple juice
5 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup packed brown sugar
directions
Combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar in a large non-reactive container.
Remove the tips from the chicken wings and separate the wings into drummies and flats.
Bring a pan of water to a boil and add the chicken wings. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until cooked, then remove the wings with a slotted spoon.
Let the chicken wings cool slightly, then add them to the soy marinade mixture. Stir to make sure the wings are covered in the marinade, then cover the container and refrigerate for 24 hours.
When ready to cook the wings, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Remove the wings from the marinade and place on a broiler pan. Place the wings in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken wings over and bake for 5 additional minutes.
Serve the tropical chicken wings hot.
recipe tips
Use a large container for marinating to make sure the wings are evenly coated.
Marinate the wings for 24 hours for the best flavor. Since they are pre-cooked, they need the extra time to absorb the flavors. Uncooked wings can marinate for 6-8 hours.
Turn the wings halfway through baking for even cooking.
Line the broiler pan with foil for easy cleanup.
Offer a variety of dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese.
Experiment with different marinade ingredients to create your own unique twist.
common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of juice?
Yes, you can use other tropical juices like mango or guava.
Is it necessary to boil the chicken wings first?
Boiling the wings speeds up the overall cooking process, but you can skip this step and marinate them raw and bake them longer. You'll need to reduce the oven temperature so they don't burn with the longer baking time.
Can I make the marinade ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the marinade in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
How do I know when the wings are fully cooked?
The wings are done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F and the juices run clear when pierced with a knife.
Can I grill these wings instead of baking?
Yes, you can grill the wings over medium heat.
How should I store leftover wings?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can I use boneless chicken instead?
Yes, you can use boneless chicken, but adjust the cooking time as it will take less time.
Can I make this dish spicier?
Yes, add chili flakes or hot sauce to the marinade for extra heat.
Can I use frozen chicken wings?
Yes, thaw the wings completely before boiling or marinating.
Can I use this marinade for other chicken pieces?
This marinade works great for chicken breasts, thighs, and drumsticks as well.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
