Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Pineapple Lemon Wings

1. Prepare the Chicken Wings

Start by washing and patting dry the chicken wings. Place them in a large mixing bowl and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the wings until evenly coated, then cover and let them sit for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

2. Make the Pineapple Lemon Glaze

In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, ginger, garlic, and chili flakes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly. Set aside to cool slightly.

3. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

4. Bake the Wings

Arrange the chicken wings on the prepared rack, making sure they are evenly spaced. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

5. Glaze the Wings

Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour half of the prepared glaze over the wings and toss until evenly coated. Return the glazed wings to the baking rack and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and adhere.
