Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup pineapple juice, 2/3 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly.

Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the sauce and continue to whisk until thickened, about 2 minutes.

In a fry pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Season 4 pounds of raw chicken wings with salt and pepper.

Brown the chicken wings in the hot oil for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the skin is crispy.

Transfer the browned chicken wings to a cooking sheet, skin side up.

Reserve some of the sauce for dipping, and coat the chicken wings with the remaining sauce.

Bake the chicken wings in the oven for 25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken wings to ensure they reach 165°F.

Once done, let the chicken wings cool slightly before serving.

Garnish with chopped green onion before serving.
