Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1.5 cups Coca-Cola
• 0.25 cups dark rum
• 0.5 cups ketchup
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon water
• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon dark rum (for sauce)
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.

Step 3

Place the seasoned chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly oiled wire rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Step 4

While the wings bake, prepare the glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine Coca-Cola, dark rum, ketchup, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the simmering glaze and stir until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm.

Step 6

For the dipping sauce, whisk together mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon dark rum, and hot sauce in a small bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 7

Once the wings are fully cooked, toss them in the prepared coke and rum glaze until thoroughly coated.

Step 8

Serve the glazed wings hot with the 'Where's the Rum at' dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy your sweet and savory wings with an irresistible boozy twist!
