Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, and black pepper until fully blended.
  4. Pour the marinade over the chicken wings and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  5. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a greased wire rack on top.
  6. Arrange the wings on the greased wire rack in a single layer. Reserve any leftover marinade.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, brushing with reserved marinade halfway through.
  8. Switch to broil and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes for extra crispiness.
  9. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
