Ingredients

For the Wings

  • 4 pounds chicken wingettes/drumettes , washed and patted dry
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Glaze

  • 1/2 cup pineapple preserves
  • 1/3 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 teaspoons jerk seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with foil, then coat with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Toss the chicken wings with the salt and pepper and spread on the baking sheets in a single layer.
  • Transfer to the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, make the glaze: Put all the ingredients for the glaze in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Take off the heat, reserving about 1/4 cup for basting.
  • Briefly remove chicken from the oven and baste each piece with some of the glaze.
  • Return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and baste again. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes (or until the internal temperature registers at least 170 degrees F. Wings should cook for a total of 35-40 minutes and meat should easily come off the bone.)
  • Toss cooked wings with the remaining glaze in a large bowl; transfer to a platter and serve hot or at room temperature.
    NOTE: 1 pound of wings typically results in about 7-8 pieces (depending on their size), so this recipe should feed approximately 7-8 people at 4 pieces per person.
