• 1 1/2 cups pineapple
• 3/4 cup barbecue sauce
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 20 chicken wings

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl (preferably non-metallic to avoid any reactions), combine the diced pineapple, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, and ground ginger. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the flavors meld together.

2. Coat the Chicken: Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged and coated on all sides. Use tongs or a spoon to turn the wings, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the marinade.

3. Marinate the Chicken: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful dish. You can also marinate the chicken for longer if desired, for even more intense flavor.

4. Grill or Broil: After marinating, preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place them on the grill or broiler pan. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the marinade to keep them moist and flavorful.

5. Check for Doneness: Cook the chicken wings until they are golden brown and cooked through, with no pink meat remaining. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safety.

6. Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, transfer the chicken wings to a serving platter. If desired, garnish with additional pineapple wedges for a decorative touch and an extra burst of tropical flavor.

7. Enjoy: Serve the Easy Hawaiian Chicken Wings hot and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet pineapple, savory barbecue sauce, and tender chicken. These wings are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a summer barbecue, game day gathering, or weeknight dinner.
