These cola chicken wings had me licking my fingers. I kid you not! People always say that about food they have made but mennnn this one was just too good to pass up. I have made it like three times since I photographed this one. Trust me, it’s that good. Its the perfect appetizer for when your guests arrive and you want to let them know your Christmas food is going to be lit! You have to make sure the rest of your food is ready though if not these chicken wings leave them hungrier than when they came in and anticipation would be higher.
I did not need to marinate this for long as I was going to bake it and cook the wings again in the cola marinade. I would advise you have paper napkins or water to wash your hands after as they are very sticky wings but they are so worth it. Hope you make these cola chicken wings and report back to us on social media @afrolems. You can use any cola drink of your choice. The result would be the same. You can also use chicken drumsticks for this recipe but wings seemed like the right choice for this.
Recipe for Cola Chicken Wings
Ingredients
6-8 Chicken Wings
1.5 cups of Cola drink
A cooking spoon of blended tomato (You can use 1 tablespoon of tomato paste to substitute)
2 cloves of garlic
3 Scotch Bonnet Peppers
1/4 cup of Sugar
Seasoning cubes
1 teaspoon of grated ginger
Method
Season your chicken and bake till brown on both sides and cooked inside. This took me 20-30 minutes at 350F
In a pot, empty your cola drink, blended tomato, sugar, ginger, garlic, scotch bonnet peppers, and some seasoning cubes if necessary and bring to boil.
Pour in your baked chicken wings and allow to stew in the marinade on low to medium heat till the sauce thickens.
Stir the chicken in the sauce occasionally in between to avoid burning.
When sauce is very thick and drying up, turn off the heat and serve the chicken wings warm.
