Ingredients

24 chicken wings (about 4 1/2 pounds), tips removed

1 12-ounce can cola

1 2-ounce bottle hot-pepper sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup cola

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 recipe Avocado Salsa (recipe follows)

.............................................................................

Avocado Salsa

In a medium mixing bowl, combine

2 medium avocados, halved, seeded, peeled and finely chopped;

1 large tomato, finely chopped;

4 green onions, finely chopped;

1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro;

3 tablespoons rice vinegar;

2 tablespoons lime juice;

2 cloves garlic, minced;

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper and

1/8 teaspoon salt.

Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours.

Makes about 21/2 cups.

Directions

1. Place the chicken wings in a large heavy, self-sealing plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Pour the 12-ounce can of cola over the chicken wings. Seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or for up to 4 hours, turning bag occasionally. Drain the chicken wings, discarding the cola marinade. Return wings to bag; pour the hot-pepper sauce over the chicken wings. Close bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally. Drain the chicken wings, discarding the hot-pepper sauce marinade.

2. In a very large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook 12 chicken wings in the hot oil over medium heat till brown on all sides. Remove from skillet; place in a well-greased, foil-lined large roasting pan. Repeat with the remaining chicken wings, adding more oil, if necessary. Reserve the pan drippings. Bake chicken wings in a 450 degree F oven for 20 minutes or till tender and no longer pink.

3. For sauce: In the same skillet, cook and stir garlic over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the 1/4 cup cola. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 minute or till liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Whisk in butter till melted and the sauce is thickened. Keep warm.

4. To serve, spoon Avocado Salsa into the center of 4 or 6 dinner plates. Place 4 or 6 of the chicken wings around the salsa. Drizzle the warm sauce over the chicken wings.

Makes 12 appetizer servings.
