Baked Marinated Chicken Wings
Tender-crisp and richly flavored, these Baked Marinated Chicken Wings use a spiced pineapple soy marinade for an easy snack or appetizer.

I seem to say it this time every year—where is the summer going? And to make things worse, I just realized that the first preseason football games are coming up.
So I knew it was time to test some game day snacks. Like these Baked Marinated Chicken Wings.
It was forever ago, when I tried this tasty appetizer, in my very first professional job. A coworker brought them in for a food day and when everyone else loved them as much as I did, I had to have the recipe.
In a spirit of full disclosure, I made just a half batch for these photos. Which my husband and I promptly polished off for a late breakfast (shhh). Does that make them brunch food too?

Step by Step Overview
Making this is super simple. I just mixed the marinade ingredients,

Poured them over the wings, then covered and refrigerated overnight.

Then I set them on a parchment lined baking sheet and baked for 2 hours.

See I told you it was easy!

Tips & FAQs
Pineapple juice is available in 6-packs of 6-ounce servings which makes it convenient for recipes that don’t use a lot. And to use up my small can, I subbed the extra juice for some of the water. (You could also serve this tasty Blue Hawaiian Cocktail which will help you use up even more pineapple juice!)
I use an unbleached, (home) compostable parchment paper when I feel I need to line a pan. In this case, even with a sticky marinade baking on for 2-3 hours, cleanup was a snap.
It struck me that these wings cook at the same temperature as the ham I bake every year (with a second entrée–my family has high expectations) for Christmas Eve. I think I may be serving a new hot appetizer this year!

These baked wings sound like the perfect game day snack, love that pineapple soy marinade idea, it must add such a nice sweet-savory punch!
Well, since I don’t do any football watching, I don’t feel like I have to eat wings! So I always take wonderful wing recipes, like yours, and make them with chicken thighs! I love the zinc from the pineapple juice. That’s a great idea!
Great idea on the thighs, David! And I didn’t know that pineapple juice has zinc. Now I have more reasons to make again!
I’m pretty sure I could polish off that entire plate of wings. They sound amazing. Perfect for football season, which is coming way too fast!
Isn’t that the truth!
