These are a must have at any football gathering or tailgating party. The wings are super moist and the convenience of throwing them in the oven still frozen really is a timesaver.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lb chicken wing drummettes, unbreaded (about 30 pieces)
1/2 c brown sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1/4-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 c pineapple juice (i use the juice from canned sliced pineapple*)
1/2 c reduced-sodium chicken broth or 1/2 cup water
1/2 c finely chopped green sweet bell pepper
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 green onion chopped (optional) for garnish
cooking spray
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray. Evenly space the chicken drummettes on the baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Lightly spray the seasoned chicken with additional cooking spray to encourage browning. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Turn half-way through the cooking time. When baking is completed, drain the baking sheet of any excess juices.
  • 2. Combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, red pepper, pineapple juice, water/broth and soy sauce in a small sauce pan. Cook over medium high heat for 3 - 6 minutes until thickened. Spoon the glaze over all sides of the chicken and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Place on serving dish, brush with more of the glaze mixture Garnish with chopped green onions for added color, texture and flavor. Serve with remaining glaze. *If using the pineapple juice from the canned sliced pineapple... why not grill it and add to the plate, beautiful presentation and it will get eaten as well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken wings. Look for wings that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid wings that are too small or have a lot of feathers.
  • Marinate the chicken wings for at least 30 minutes. This will help the wings to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make them more tender.
  • Cook the chicken wings over medium heat. This will help to prevent the wings from burning and will give them a chance to cook through evenly.
  • Baste the chicken wings with the marinade or sauce during cooking. This will help to keep the wings moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Polynesian chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can make Polynesian chicken wings that are sure to impress your friends and family.
