Servings: 4
WW Points (per serving): ~6 points


🐔 Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split at joints – 12 pts total
  • Cooking spray – 0 pts

For the Teriyaki Glaze:

  • ½ cup pineapple juice – 2 pts
  • ⅓ cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce – 2 pts
  • 1 tbsp honey – 2 pts
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce – 0 pts
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic – 0 pts
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger – 0 pts
  • ½ tsp black pepper – 0 pts

🔥 Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  2. Bake the Chicken:
    Arrange the wings in a single layer and bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  3. Make the Glaze:
    In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Glaze & Finish:
    Remove wings, brush generously with the glaze, and return to oven for 15 minutes until sticky and caramelized.
    (Optional: Broil 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness — just keep an eye on them!)
  5. Serve & Enjoy:
    Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired (adds ~½ point).

💡 WW Tips

  • Air fry instead: 380°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, glaze in the last 10 minutes.
  • Want it spicier? Add red pepper flakes 🌶️.
  • For fewer points, use boneless skinless chicken breast chunks instead of wings — same glaze, fewer calories!
