Pineapple Glazed Chicken Wings Recipe

May 31, 2013 by Maureen 75 Comments

When I went to the garage sale at the church several weeks ago – remember the teapots? – I also bought some cookbooks.  They were $2 each for the big fat ones and $1 for the medium sized ones and the small ones were free.  I took all I could carry.

Speaking of the teapots, remember my white chocolate bread pudding made with rose and vanilla tea infused cream that I created for the Dilmah High Tea Challenge and you all urged me to submit it?  Well, I’m a state finalist and now I have to present my bread pudding in front of judges.  Thanks for your encouragement and I’m glad I’m a finalist – I think.  The thought of getting my food judged makes it all seem so TV kitchenish.  I’ll get a nice tea prize just for showing up on the14th in Brisbane so it’s worth the effort.  The most difficult thing for me will be brewing tea for the 3 judges.   We’re not allowed to toss a bag in a cup and splash some hot water in there and give it to them.  I have to brew it (perfectly) then serve it at the proper temperature.

Pineapple Glazed Chicken Wings

Every night I take one of my bargain cookbooks to bed with me for inspiration and the other night I took an old (26 years) Land O Lakes cookbook with me.  After about five minutes I said to John, “I’m going to make every recipe in this book.  I’m in love.  It’s SO American.”  He looked at me like he always does when he thinks I’m kidding — but I wasn’t kidding. Land O Lakes butter is not sold in Australia so some American person brought the cookbook over here and then tossed it at the church’s garage sale appeal.  Every recipe reminded me of back home.

The first recipe I fell in love with was chicken wings in a pineapple and horseradish glaze served with a pineapple and honey sauce.  I’ve never been overly fond of chicken wings mostly because I never felt it was worth getting sticky and greasy from ear to ear for 3 or 4 bites.   These looked so appetizing in the photo that I threw caution to the wind and carried a roll of paper towels to the table.  Eating chicken wings is not a job for the faint hearted or wimpy napkins.

    I probably couldn’t resist the cookbook deal either though I have enough on my shelves which I never use as I seem to find all my recipes on line.

    I’ve never bought horseradish or used it in my cooking though I did try it recently for the first time on my birthday steak … my SIL offered some from her portion. It was great so I bet adding it to this marinade would add a nice hot back note to counteract the sweetness of the pineapple juice. I just wish wings weren’t the same price as chicken breasts locally.

      chicken wings are much cheaper than breasts here so the meal was definitely a bargain because I had everything else in the pantry.

    I rarely eat chicken wings because of the 3 or 4 bite thing. I’ll eat ribs, though, which are messier and although they have more meat on them, not that much more. Weird. Anyway, this look terrific. We brew tea every morning, using the loose stuff. What we do is unorthodox, but it works well to keep the water at a constant temperature. We use one of those insulted carafes that are usually used for coffee – we put the loose tea leaves in, add water. give it a quick stir with a chopstick (it’s long enough) to distribute the tea leaves (unnecessary probably, but fun). Then let it brew. When it’s time to pour, we just hold a strainer over the cup to catch the tea leaves. We do it all wrong in that we’ll keep the tea leaves in the carafe all morning while we drink the tea – it gets stronger and stronger – but we’re Americans, thus barbarians, so we don’t know any better. 😉 Anyway, for the purpose of the competition, might be a handy way to pour however many cups of tea you need at the proper temperature. Oh, and that cookbook sounds way cool!

      I felt the same way about ribs but I’m getting better. Now I just make sure I have enough towels or finger bowls and I’m fine.

Yet have never ‘done’ them this way and will not be able to resist! Talk about yummy [if one is allowed to sound childish!] And as a ‘side’: glad to hear Lorraine having a wow time in China [think of those posts to come!} – wondered why some of her communication seemed a tad out of the ordinary . . . .
