Steps
Step 01
Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 02
In a large bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 03
Add chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring even coating. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Arrange marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is golden.
Step 05
While the chicken bakes, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, forming a smooth slurry.
Step 06
Transfer the remaining marinade to a saucepan over medium heat. Add pineapple chunks and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually pour in the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens.
Step 07
Remove the wings from the oven. Transfer to a serving bowl and toss thoroughly with the warm pineapple sauce. Serve immediately, garnished as desired.
