POLYNESIAN GLAZED WINGS

Category: Wings

3 lbs (about 30 pieces) chicken wing drummettes, unbreaded
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp soy sauce, low sodium
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Cooking spray
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray. Evenly space the chicken drummettes on the baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Lightly spray the seasoned chicken with additional cooking spray to encourage browning. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Turn half-way through the cooking time. When baking is completed, drain the baking sheet of any excess juices.

Combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, red pepper, pineapple water and soy sauce in a small sauce pan. Cook over medium high heat for 3 to 6 minutes until thickened. Spoon the glaze over all sides of the chicken and bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions for added color, texture and flavor.
