Ingredients

  • 3 pounds of succulent chicken wings
  • A refreshing can of cola soft drink (like Coke®), 12 ounces
  • An aromatic sazon seasoning packet (like Goya®), 1.41 ounces
  • 1 teaspoon each of zesty dry mustard, fiery cayenne pepper, and savory seafood seasoning (like Old Bay®)
  • A hint of celery salt
  • Adjustable amounts of sweet light brown sugar and flavorful BBQ seasoning (like McCormick®)
  • A cup of fiery hot pepper sauce (like Frank's RedHot®), split
  • Don't forget the cooking spray!

Step 1

Blend chicken wings with cola in a spacious bowl and let them soak in the refrigerator for an hour.

Step 2

Create a flavorful rub by combining sazon seasoning, mustard, cayenne pepper, seafood seasoning, celery salt, brown sugar, and BBQ seasoning in a separate bowl.

Step 3

After marinating, drain the wings and discard the cola. Toss the wings with 1/2 cup of hot sauce before coating them with the rub thoroughly.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C) and prepare a broiler pan by greasing it with cooking spray.

Step 5

Bake the wings for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Flip them and continue baking until they turn crispy, which should take about 20 more minutes.

Step 6

Once done, toss the wings with the remaining hot sauce and return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
