Ingredients:

For the Wings:

• 2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed
• Drumettes and flats separated
• Sesame seeds for garnish
• Sliced green onions for garnish

For the Coca Cola Marinade:

• 1 cup Coca Cola
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions:

1. Prepare the marinade by combining Coca-Cola, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the sugar completely dissolves.
2. Add chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring each wing is completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, though overnight marinating yields the best results.
3. When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
4. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they're not touching.
5. Reserve the marinade for the sauce. Pour it into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
6. Reduce the heat and let the marinade simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook until the sauce thickens and reduces by about half, approximately 15 minutes.
7. Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking. They should become golden brown and crispy.
8. During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, brush the wings with the reduced sauce. Return to the oven to caramelize.

Ready to Devour!

Remove the wings from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions just before serving.

Storage Solutions:

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container
