How to Store Pineapple-Teriyaki Chicken Wings

Tips to Make Pineapple-Teriyaki Chicken Wings
- For the best flavor, marinate the chicken wings overnight.
- If you like your wings extra crispy, broil them for a few minutes at the end of baking.
- Always check that the chicken is fully cooked using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Variation
You can spice things up by adding a bit of Sriracha or chili flakes to the marinade for a kick of heat. You can also try using different meats, such as chicken drumsticks or thighs, to switch things up.
FAQs
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings. Just be sure to thaw them completely before marinating and cooking.
