About this recipe

Elevate your barbecue game with these modern cola BBQ chicken wings. Infused with the sweet, caramel flavor of cola, balanced by savory spices and a tangy BBQ sauce, these wings are juicy, crispy, and irresistible. Perfect for a game day feast or a casual gathering.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 can (12 oz) cola
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together the cola, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Place chicken wings in a large resealable bag and pour marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  4. 4

    Line a baking sheet with foil and place wings in a single layer, reserving marinade.

  5. 5

    Bake wings for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy and cooked through.

  6. 6

    In a saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

  7. 7

    Toss baked wings in the thickened sauce, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.

Chef's tip

For extra crispiness, consider broiling the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking. Adjust salt and sweetness in the sauce to taste.
