This recipe just showed up in my inbox. It has a simple list of ingredients that coat chicken wings in a 'sweet heat' using a base of cola for sweetness and spice with other ingredients for heat and tang. When you consider the coke and the long-cooking, this seems to be a riff on the infamous Coca-Cola ribs idea which, they promise, will result in a very crispy skin once the sauce cooks down (I'm thinking you never turn these over--just go pretty side up the whole way)--the picture supplied with the recipe sure looked pretty--not that you can trust food stylists. I bet lemon grass would be a great addition.
ingredients
2 1/2 pounds chicken wings, cut at joint
1 cup cola
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
