Coke Chicken Recipe Ingredients:

  • 12 oz can of Coca-ColaⓇ
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce)

Begin by placing the chicken wings on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet, skin side up. Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

While the chicken wings bake you can begin making the Coke chicken sauce. In a medium saucepan combine the can of Coca-Cola, brown sugar, garlic, coconut aminos (or soy sauce) and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil until liquid reduces (approximately 6-8 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in cayenne pepper. I added about 1/2 teaspoon to mine and they were not spicy at all (the kids all ate them). If you want more spice add one teaspoon or more.

 

Mix together water and cornstarch in a small bowl and add to saucepan. Whisk to mix in and thicken sauce. It’s okay if the sauce isn’t super thick because it will thicken in the oven as well.

These wings were so juicy and delicious that I only got to eat 4 of them! My kids and husband quickly devoured the rest of them before I could grab any more! Needless to say, these were a huge hit in our house.
