Instructions

In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine the cola, salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Stir or shake well to dissolve the salt and sugar.
Add the chicken wings to the brine mixture, making sure they are completely submerged. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for best results.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the wings from the brine and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard the brine.
Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and crispy on the outside.
If desired, you can brush the wings with BBQ sauce during the last 10 minutes of baking for extra flavor.
Serve the cola-brined chicken wings hot and enjoy!
