### 👩🍳 How to Make Brown Sugar Pineapple Wings Chicken
**1. Prep the wings:**
Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
**2. Make the glaze:**
In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8–10 minutes until slightly thickened and syrupy. Stir occasionally.
**3. Cook the wings:**
* **Oven method:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange wings on a baking sheet lined with foil and a rack. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and cooked through.
* **Air fryer method:** Preheat air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Cook wings in batches for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through.
**4. Toss in glaze:**
Once wings are cooked, toss them in the warm brown sugar pineapple glaze until well coated.
**5. Serve:**
Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or sides.
