Chicken wings are a great appetizer for kicking off your event in style. In fact they are almost required because they are such a popular appetizer, especially at Super Bowl parties. If you are serving chicken wings, they are sure to disappear fast if you choose a yummy marinade for chicken wings. Don’t forget the napkins and finger bowls. This one of my personal favorite chicken marinade recipes.

The following recipe is both sweet and salty. The sweetness comes from the pineapple juice and sugar and the salty flavor is from the soy sauce.

The ginger and garlic provide even more flavor. Let the wings marinade overnight for the most flavor. You can marinate 3 or 4 pounds (1½ to 2 kilos) of chicken with this easy marinade for chicken wings. Buy ready prepared wings in the store to save time or just leave them whole.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 lbs (1½ to 2 kg) cleaned chicken wings
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) pineapple juice
  • 1 cup (250ml) soy sauce
  • 1 cup (200g) white sugar
  • 1 cup (250ml) water

Instructions

  1. Put the chicken wings in a large bowl or Ziploc bag.
  2. Combine the soy sauce, sugar, water, ginger, oil, pineapple juice, and garlic powder in another bowl then stir well.
  3. Pour this mixture over your chicken wings then refrigerate them.
  4. If you are using a bowl, cover it. If you are using the bag, then squeeze out any excess air then seal it.
  5. Let the wings marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  7. Arrange the chicken wings on a foil-lined baking sheet then bake for 50 minutes or until done.

Notes

  • I like to cook these in my air fryer for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Serve them with a creamy dipping sauce and perhaps some veggies.
