Ingredients

For the Wings:

• 2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes & flats)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp Aloha Spice Kiawe Smoked Garlic Salt 

For the Hot Honey Pineapple Glaze:

• 1/2 cup Dip into Paradise Pineapple Jam
• 1/3 cup HI Honey Farms Hawaiian Hot Chili Infused Honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp ginger (grated)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
• 1 tbsp butter (for a silky finish)

Instructions

1. Prepare & Bake the Wings

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack for extra crispiness.
• Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel. Toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
• Arrange wings in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

2. Make the Hot Honey Pineapple Glaze

• While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine pineapple jam, hot honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
• Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
• Stir in the butter and let it melt into the sauce for a smooth finish. Remove from heat.

3. Toss & Serve

• Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
• Pour the hot honey pineapple glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
• Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds (optional).
