Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the marinade over the wings in a large bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Grease the rack lightly with olive oil.
Remove wings from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and arrange them in a single layer on the wire rack.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy; brush with reserved marinade halfway through cooking.
Optional: Broil for an additional 3-5 minutes for extra crispiness.
Serve warm with additional chopped jalapeños if desired.
