Cola brined chicken wings
Cola brined chicken wings is a delicious twist on traditional chicken wings. The wings are soaked in a brine made with cola, salt, and various seasonings to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist when cooking. This unique brine adds a sweet and savory element to the wings.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 cups cola (such as Coca-Cola)
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- BBQ sauce (optional, for serving)
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!
