Ingredients
1 cup Coca-Cola Classic
Juice of 2 limes
1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
3 jalapeno chiles, finely chopped, plus 2 jalapeno chiles, sliced, for garnish
3 pounds chicken wings (12 to 14 whole wings)
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Position an oven rack 4 inches below the broiler element. Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an ovenproof rack on the lined baking sheet.
To make the glaze, in a small saucepan, bring the soda, lime juice, brown sugar, and chopped jalapeno chiles to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer until syrupy, about 30 minutes; keep warm over low heat.
To prepare the chicken wings, cut off the wing tips (reserve the tips to make stock) and halve the wings at the joint. Place the wing pieces in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour about half the glaze over the wings and toss to coat. Keep the remaining sauce warm over low heat.
To broil the wings, place the glazed wings on the rack set on the baking sheet. Broil for 10 minutes per side, brushing twice on each side with the reserved glaze.
Transfer to a warm platter, garnish with sliced jalapenos, and serve immediately.
