whole wings
1
teaspoon
Paprika
½
teaspoon
Salt
½
teaspoon
Baking Powder
For the Glaze:
4-6
Jalapeño Peppers
225
g
Tin of Pineapple Chunks in Juice
8
oz
40
g
Honey
2
tablespoon
1
teaspoon
Dried Mint
½
teaspoon
Salt
¼
teaspoon
White Pepper
Instructions
Remove the stems and roughly chop jalapeño peppers, then place them in a mini blender.
Add the pineapple from the tin and 2 tablespoons of the juice to the blender and blitz to a smooth paste.
Add the pineapple puree to a small (15cm or 6") pan.
Throw in the dried mint, salt and white pepper and stir to combine.
Cook over a medium-low heat for 12-15 minutes stirring regularly.
Prepare the wings by cutting into winglets and drumettes.
Season the wings with salt, baking powder and paprika and toss to coat well.
To Bake (1 Hour):
Place the chicken wings skin-side down on a baking rack placed on top of a baking tray. Lining the tray with foil reduces the washing up!
Place the wings in a preheated oven and cook for 30 minutes at 130ºC or 250ºF.
Remove the chicken wings from the oven and turn up the temperature to 200ºC or 400ºF.
Flip the wings over on the rack and return them to the oven for another 20 minutes.
Remove the wings, place them in a bowl, pour over the glaze and toss to coat well.
Return the wings to the baking rack and return them to the oven for a final 5-7 minutes.
To Air Fry (35 Minutes):
Spray the air fryer basket with oil and add the seasoned chicken wings.
Cook for 20 minutes at 160°C or 320°F, shaking them halfway through.
Turn up the heat to 200°C or 400°F and cook for a further 10 minutes.
Transfer the wings to a bowl, pour over the glaze and toss to coat.
Return to the air fryer and cook for another 5 minutes at 200°C or 400°F.
To BBQ (35 Minutes):
Set up the grill with a direct and indirect heating section and heat to a temperature of around 250°C or 485°F.
Place the wings over the indirect heat section of the grill, presentation side up, close the lid and cook for 25-30 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached at least 73°C or 165°F; cook for longer if required.
Remove the chicken and place it in a bowl.
Pour over the pineapple glaze and toss to coat.
Return the wings to the direct heat side of the grill and give them a minute or two on each side to go sticky and caramelise.
