Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings

The sweet and sour chicken wings are a simple and tasty white meat main dish that requires some marinating time to make the meat (not much honestly) tender and succulent and very inviting!!
The marinade I chose to make is vaguely Asian and I also added canned pineapple slices to accentuate the sweet and sour flavor of the preparation.
The sweet and sour chicken wings can also be a savory and unusual appetizer served pre-portioned to make it easier for guests and served with a fresh, slightly sparkling beer.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons acacia honey
  • 10 oz canned pineapple
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 pinches pepper
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Preparation of Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings Recipe

  • For this white meat main dish, it is necessary to first prepare the marinade where the chicken wings will be placed for at least a couple of hours before proceeding with the oven cooking.

  • I clean the wings very well from any feathers and then prepare the marinade seasoning.

    In the mixer, I put garlic, barbecue sauce, honey, soy sauce, rosemary leaves and blend well to homogenize to combine the various flavors and aromas.

  • I also add EVO oil and adjust the blended seasoning with salt and pepper.

  • I put the well-cleaned chicken wings in a baking dish, preferably in a single layer, and then pour the marinade over them, making sure the meat is enveloped by this sweet and sour sauce.

  • I cover with plastic wrap and place the dish in the refrigerator for the indicated marinating time (at least 2 hours).

  • After the time has passed, I just have to bake the chicken wings at 392°F, adding the canned pineapple pieces as well and cooking this delicious and tasty chicken main dish for about 45 minutes.

  • If during cooking the chicken wings dry out too much, I drizzle them with the marinade I saved after the resting time.

    It’s a main dish with an intriguing flavor, and for me, it needs to be accompanied by a simple and light basic side dish like mashed potatoes…
