Step 3

Once you flip the chicken wings, start making the sauce. Combine the Coca-Cola, brown sugar, minced garlic, tomato paste, soy sauce and onion powder in a large pan. Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer until thick, about 10 minutes.

Tip

If the sauce isn't thickening, it means the ingredients haven't gotten hot enough. Bring the mixture to a boil, making sure it bubbles, and then reduce the heat. Also, the sauce will thicken as it cools.

Step 6

Add the cooked chicken wings to the pan. Toss to coat them in sauce.
