How to cook Hawaiian Wings from Wingstop at home?
Learn how to cook Hawaiian Wings from Wingstop by marinating chicken wings in a sweet and tangy sauce made with pineapple juice, soy sauce, and honey. Bake until crispy, then coat with a thickened glaze of the same marinade for that authentic sticky-sweet Wingstop flavour experience.
What's the secret to getting crispy chicken wings with a sticky glaze?
The key is patting wings completely dry before cooking and using a wire rack while baking to allow air circulation. For the perfect sticky glaze, reduce your sauce until it coats the back of a spoon, then toss with wings while the sauce is still warm.
Can I use an air fryer instead of an oven for cooking sticky glazed wings?
Yes! Air fry at 200°C for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. Add the glaze only after cooking to prevent burning. The air fryer creates exceptionally crispy skin while keeping the meat juicy—perfect for contrasting with the sweet Hawaiian sauce.
How long should I marinate chicken wings for the best flavour?
For optimal flavour penetration, marinate chicken wings for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight (8-12 hours). The acids in the marinade tenderise the meat while the flavours are absorbed, resulting in more flavourful wings.
