Preparation

Step 1

1. Place chicken wings in large resealable food storage bag; add 2 tsp liquid smoke. Toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to let flavors blend.

2. Preheat oven to 375*F. Spray 13 X 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Combine barbecue sauce, Coca-Cola, honey, ketchup, mustard, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce & remaining 1 tsp liquid smoke in medium bowl; mix well. Pour sauce into prepared pan. Add chicken wings to pan; toss to coat.

4. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken is tender & no longer pink, basting occasionally with sauce & turning once.

5. Remove pan from oven & discard sauce, leaving just enough to coat wings. Set oven to broil & return wings to oven. Broil 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish with green onions, if desired, just before serving.
