The Best Rubbed Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 3 pounds chicken wings
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can cola soft drink (such as Coke®)
• 1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning (such as Goya®)
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon BBQ seasoning (such as McCormick®), or to taste
• 1 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®), divided
• cooking spray

Directions

Tos the wings in a big bowl with the cola, then pop them in the fridge to marinate for about an hour. While the wings are soaking up all that flavor, mix together the sazon seasoning, mustard, cayenne, seafood seasoning, celery salt, brown sugar, and BBQ seasoning to make a tasty rub. When the wings are ready, drain off the cola and discard it. Give the wings a good mix with half a cup of hot sauce, then sprinkle on the rub and toss everything until the wings are well coated. Preheat your oven to 425°F and lightly grease a broiler pan. Spread the wings out on the pan and bake for 30 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 20 minutes or until they’re nice and crispy. Finally, toss the wings with the remaining hot sauce and slide them back into the oven for 5 more minutes to finish.
