I was super excited when I stumbled across this recipe from The Cookie Rookie and it was just in time to watch the Denver Broncos in the playoffs and then, of course, in the Super Bowl. I grew up in Denver and went to many Broncos games with my dad who had season tickets. This was the perfect dish to serve while cheering them on!
This is very easy and is a crowd pleaser. You can find more recipes from The Cookie Rookie on her website at www.thecookierookie.com. Enjoy – and Go Broncos!

Baked Orange Soda Hot Wings
Makes 1 dozen wings
Recipe adapted from The Cookie Rookie
1 dozen chicken wings
1 tablespoon baking powder (NOT baking soda)
salt and pepper to taste
¾ cup orange soda (I used Orange Crush, of course)
¼ cup hot sauce (I used Frank’s Hot Sauce)
¼ cup honey
½ tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, and pepper. Place wings in the bowl and coat with the mixture.
Place wings on a foil-lined baking sheet; it’s OK if they are touching.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Increase heat to 425 degrees F and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes.
In a saucepan, combine soda, hot sauce, honey, garlic, and butter. Stir to combine. Over medium heat, bring to a boil – keep an eye on it.
Reduce heat to simmer and continue simmering for at least 30 minutes until sauce thickens and becomes more of syrup.
Remove wings from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
Toss wings in the sauce and serve hot.
