Step 1: Begin by preparing the chicken wings. Cut the wings into sections and discard the tips, or you can save them for another recipe if you prefer.
Step 2: Next, place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic ziplock bag. This will be used to marinate the wings and ensure they soak up all the delicious flavors.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple preserves, dry sherry, orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Stir everything together until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the marinade is well combined.
Step 4: Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken wings in the plastic bag, ensuring all parts of the wings are coated evenly. Seal the bag tightly to prevent any leaks and to maximize the marinating process.
Step 5: Place the sealed bag of wings in the refrigerator and allow them to marinate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight. This extended marinating time will infuse the wings with incredible flavor.
Step 6: After the marinating time is complete, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, then arrange the marinated chicken wings on the pan in a single layer.
Step 7: Pour 1 cup of the marinade over the wings on the baking pan, ensuring they are evenly coated. Discard any remaining marinade.
Step 8: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The aroma of the pineapple-orange marinade will fill your kitchen, enticing everyone nearby.
Step 9: Once the wings are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
Step 10: Serve the Aloha Chicken Wings hot and enjoy the delicious combination of savory and sweet flavors. These wings are perfect for parties, game day gatherings, or any occasion where you want to impress your guests with a mouthwatering appetizer. Enjoy! 🍍🍗🌺
