Ingredients:

For the Chicken Wings:

• 2 lbs (about 900g) chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats (tips discarded or saved for stock)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda, for crispy skin)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1 bottle E&V Pineapple Sake Teriyaki Marinade

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Wings:
   • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture (this helps achieve crispy skin).
   • In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Ensure they are evenly coated.
   • Place the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let them sit uncovered in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours (or overnight) to dry out the skin for extra crispiness. If you're short on time, you can skip this step.
     Bake or Air-Fry the Wings:

     • Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the wings on the wire rack for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
     • Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Cook the wings in batches (don’t overcrowd) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
       Coat the Wings:

       • Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
       • Pour half of the Pineapple Sake Teriyaki sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly. Reserve the other half for dipping or drizzling.
       • Optional Final Step for Sticky Wings:

       • For extra caramelization, place the coated wings back on the wire rack and broil in the oven on high for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Alternatively, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
         Serve:

         • Arrange the wings on a platter and garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or small pineapple chunks for a tropical flair.
         • Serve with the reserved Pineapple Sake Teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping.
