01 - 900 g chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats

→ Marinade

02 - 120 ml pineapple juice
03 - 60 ml soy sauce
04 - 55 g brown sugar
05 - 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

# Steps:

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