INGREDIENTS:

• 3 lbs chicken wings
• 1 cup pineapple preserves
• 1/2 cup dry sherry
• 1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Start by preparing the chicken wings. Chop them into sections, discarding the tips to ensure even cooking and easy eating.
2. Place the chicken wings in a resealable Ziploc bag, ready to be marinated and infused with flavors.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the pineapple preserves, dry sherry, frozen orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring that the flavors are well blended.
4. Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken wings in the Ziploc bag. Seal the bag tightly, ensuring that all the wings are coated with the marinade. This step allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and infuse it with their delicious essence.
5. Let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of six hours. This extended marination time allows the flavors to develop and intensify, resulting in a more flavorful end result.
6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking pan with foil to ease cleanup.
7. Transfer the marinated chicken wings onto the prepared baking pan, arranging them in a single layer. Reserve the remaining marinade.
8. Pour one cup of the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are evenly coated. Set aside the remaining marinade for later use.
9. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
10. Once baked, remove the wings from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. The aromatic scent of the sweet and tangy glaze will tempt your senses, making it difficult to resist diving in right away.
