Chicken Wings and Drumettes: You can buy party wings already portioned or grab whole wings and break them down yourself.

Kosher Salt: Brings out the flavors in the chicken and the sauce.

Sauce

Pineapple Juice: Adds a tangy sweetness to the sauce, enhancing the tropical feel. Rice Vinegar: Gives the sauce a nice acidity that balances out the sweetness. Brown Sugar: Provides a depth of sweetness and helps the sauce stick to the wings. Ketchup: Gives the sauce its red color and adds an acidic sweetness. Soy Sauce: Adds a salty, savory flavor that balances the sweet. Cornstarch: Thickens the sauce. Water: Combined with the cornstarch, creates a paste that thickens the sauce.
