This was my first time making wings. I follwed the directions with the exception of cayenne pepper. I grilled them over charcoal as directed and they not only looked delicious, they were the best wings we've ever had! I don't like them too spicy and didn't like how spicy they were when we added cayenne (the second time we made them). I'll make them often without the extra hot!

This was a great recipe. However, I did make a few changes. First off, I used a deep disposable turkey roaster for easy clean-up. Secondly, I eliminated the Coke and used beer instead (Miller Lite). Also I added minced garlic. They turned out great! I also tried this with chicken legs, they weren't as crispy as the wings. Definitely recommend using wings.

We loved grilled wings and this was a hit. We did use Cherry Coke as another reviewer suggested. They do get a little black in some areas. It's just the sugar from the sauce. I was shocked at first when my husband brought them in from the grill, but they were juicy and far from being dry. Even my picky teen daughter ate these.

I gave this recipe 4 stars for one reason only. The claim is that they are better than fried wings. If you are a die hard fried buffalo wing fan there is a big difference between frying and grilling. However, this was an excellent recipe for the bbq grill.

These were really good wings. I love that they were not fried and that the sauce did not have butter in it. I may have went a little heavy with the cayenne pepper because the family loved them but they certainly were hot. I would omit the cayenne pepper or use less hot sauce and more cola next time.

Wonderful Wings! Before placing the wings in the sauce, I rubbed them down with salt & papper, garlic powder & cayenne pepper. This seemed to give them that extra little punch. My guest raved about them and could not stop eating them. Everyone left with the recipe in hand. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

These are the best wings ever!! I made them the 4th of July and they were gone in a flash. Much better than the fried variety. I found that the pot that the sauce is in is hard to clean so I recommend getting a disposible cassorole tin that way there is no clean up at all.

Love It!!! I followed the recipe, but added a little crushed garlic. The flavor was great. It had a nice medium heat, your lips tingled, but you didn't get burned, and it didn't overpower the other flavors, you got the sweet from the cola, the garlic & the chicken still came through. I let the pan of sauce come to a simmer before adding the chicken and by the end it was down to a really nice glaze, we ran the wings through it after they came off the grill & it was perfect. It is a little time consuming, but it's easy (like guy easy). I used an aluminum foil pan, so scrubbing the grill was the only clean-up. To me it was a lot less work & clean-up than breading & frying wings. Will make again & again.

These were very good! I did them in the oven instead of the grill, It took a little over an hour, but they were very good. They turned out a little hot for our taste, but that was my own fault!

the flavor was terrific. although grilled and re-dipping in the sauce in a little work. Talk the advice of others when reducing the marinade. A keeper for outdoor grilling. Thanks.

UNBELIEVABLE wings! I had my doubts when I saw the ingredients, but I made the marinade, put it in a metal pot, and threw it on the bbq with 3lbs of wings. It never really came to a simmer, but it was on the bbq for about an hour. I put the wings on the grill for about 10 minutes at a time, enough to char them lightly, then threw them back in the marinade for a few minutes. The result was fantastic. They were spicy, but juicy, pleasing to everybody. I can't recommend these enough!!!

Yum!!!!!! I've been looking for a different way to prepare buffalo wings rather than the fried version we've been using. Everyone in my family raved about these. Definitely a keeper, didn't have to change a thing!

The flavors of these wings were really excellent (much better than expected from hot sauce and coke!). I took these on a camping trip and couldn't get enough of them! I made the marinade according to recipe, and added some fresh garlic and ginger for extra flavor. Marinated it for 2 days before taking it on the camping trip. I didn't do the thing with cooking the sauce on top of the grill, just grilled the wings and brushed them a couple times with the sauce while grilling. The saltiness was just right for me, but could use more cayenne pepper or fresh chiles next time, since it wasn't spicy enough for me.

This recipe was great. I made a batch of hot and a batch of mild using half of the hot sauce for the mild and they turned out great. Will definitely do again. Thinking of adding barbeque at the end to enhance flavor.

I personally would have given this recipe only three stars where it not for the fact that my friends raved over these wings. I made them for the super bowl and followed the recipe exactly. The taste was good but I felt that the soy sauce was a little overpowering and the hot sauce taste was not strong enough. The sauce was also a little runny and not as spicy as I would have liked. I prefer a rich and hearty sauce with a little extra bite to it. When I make these again (which my fiends will kill me if I don't) I wont actually cut down on the soy sauce used but instead double the amount of hot sauce used and possibly melt some butter into the sauce as well.

Phenomenal way to cook wings to save on all the butter and frying. The wings pack plenty of punch, too. I've gone 50/50 beer cola and 100 cola and it's great both ways. Thanks for the recipe!
