Ingredients:

  • 16 chicken wings
  • Salt
  • 1 cup (250ml) Coca Cola (original)
  • ½ cup (125ml) brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp (30ml) tomato paste
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp (5ml) dried chilli flakes
  • 2 tsp (10ml) sweet paprika

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200° C.
  2. Line a baking tray with baking paper or foil and set aside.
