Recipe by: Lord Byron’s Kitchen
Serves: 4
Time: 1 hour
Ingredients
- 16 chicken wings
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Coca Cola (do not use diet cola!)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 whole green onion, finely sliced, for garnish – optional
Method
-
Preheat oven to 220 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
Wash wings in cold water and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
-
Lay wings onto parchment paper, leaving at least an inch of space between each. Sprinkle over half the salt.
-
Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Flip wings over. Sprinkle over remaining salt, and bake for 20 more minutes.
-
In the meantime, add the following ingredients to a skillet – Coca Cola, brown sugar, tomato paste, garlic, dried red chili flakes, and paprika.
-
Over medium-high heat, whisk the ingredients together and allow them to come to a low boil until sauce has thickened.
-
By this time, the wings will be ready. Remove from oven and add to the skillet with the sauce.
-
Toss together, cooking over medium-high heat until the wings have absorbed all of the sauce and the wings start to char.
-
Remove wings from skillet and onto a serving plate. Garnish with green onions.
