Pineapple fried chicken wings are a delicious fusion dish that combines the sweet and tangy flavor of pineapple with the savory taste of fried chicken wings. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split at the joint and tips discarded
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine.
- Add the chicken wings to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Once marinated, remove the chicken wings from the bowl and let excess marinade drip off.
- In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with salt and additional black pepper if desired.
- Dredge each chicken wing in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the chicken wings to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per batch.
- Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the pineapple fried chicken wings hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. They pair well with rice or a side of vegetables.
Enjoy your delicious pineapple fried chicken wings!
