Servings: persons

1/2 cup kosher salt
1 liter cola-flavored carbonated beverage
4 pounds chicken wings
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ground mustard
4 teaspoons paprika

1
Pour 1/2 cup kosher salt and the cola into a resealable plastic bag, mix until the salt dissolves. Add the chicken wings, coat with the brine, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Brine in the refrigerator for 2 hours. While the chicken is brining, stir together the vegetable oil, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, garlic powder, black pepper, mustard powder, and paprika in a small bowl to form a paste; set aside.
2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
3
Drain the chicken wings in a colander set in the sink, then pat dry with paper towels. Place the wings into a large mixing bowl, then mix in the spice paste until evenly coated.
4
Grill the wings on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone, 10 to 15 minutes.
