It’s almost time for Super Bowl parties, and what better of an appetizer to have at your party than chicken wings? This is almost required and here I have for you a delicious marinade for your chicken wings.
This marinade is both salty and sweet. The saltiness comes from soy sauce and the sweetness comes from both sugar and pineapple juice. Additional seasonings such as garlic powder and ginger are added for even more flavor.
The wings should be marinated at least overnight for maximum flavor. This recipe will marinate 3-4lbs of chicken wings. If you want to save time you can buy the already cut up wings in the store, or you could just leave them whole. Enjoy.
If you enjoy this marinade recipe, you may want to try my Qdoba steak marinade, carne asada marinade, and adobo marinade.

Wow, these wings look amazing! I bet they were so good.
We do love chicken and these recepie looks yummy!! We got to try it out someday. We eat chicken 2 or 3 times a week and it is good and healthy.
On the cooking time do you mean 1-1 1/2 hours because that seems a lot for chicken wings. Just curious because I am definitely making these for the super bowl on Sunday!
Jason – Yes, sorry it is a typo. It should read 1-1 1/2 hours as you stated. thanks.
Well the chicken wings are sitting in the fridge with the marinade and I doubled the recipe because I have about 10 people coming over so I will let you know how it turns out! Love the site…and thanks for a new recipe!
Cooked 3.5 lbs for my mom’s bday yesterday but I think an hour of cooking was too long for me. Some pieces burned. However, it turned out very delicious so I decided to marinate some drumsticks. Will watch it carefully next time! Thanks for the recipe.
I made these the other day. I found 1 hour to be perfect with an all drumstick pack of wings from the supermarket here in Japan. These were delicious and my 17 month old son loved them and wanted more.
i’m going try this for a class presentation with a special dipping sauce, what do u think?
Deandra- I think it would work great for a class presentation.
Hi, I don’t have chicken wings. Would these work on chicken thighs?
Thanks
Wow, thanks for this recipe! I subbed orange juice for pineapple juice because I didn’t have it on hand & it made the most delicious homemade wings. I’m not usually a fan of homemade wings but this recipe definitely changed my mind.
Wow, thanks for this recipe! I doubled it and used brown sugar!! The wings turned out awesome!!!
I made this recipe, and sure do, it didn’t last long it was gone in minutes..It was delicious and I’m about to make marinate now…Thank you so much for this recipe….
Bravo!
