Orange Soda Hot Wings are the perfect sweet and spicy appetizer for game day. Chicken wings are coated in seasoning and baking powder and baked in a hot oven until crispy. Then they are tossed with an orange-flavored sauce and sprinkled with cilantro.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a large bowl, toss chicken wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder.
Place skin side up on prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees and bake another 30 to 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan bring orange soda, hot sauce, brown sugar, butter, orange zest, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until thickened.
