barbecue , poultry or grill seasoning

8 cups water

·
For
the barbecue sauce:
·
1 cup Dr
Pepper (I prefer regular but Diet will work too)
·
1 cup ketchup
·
3 tablespoons Worcestershire
sauce
·
2 teaspoons smoked
paprika
·
3 tablespoons of
steak sauce
·
1/2 teaspoon onion
powder
·
1/2 teaspoon garlic

·
1/2 teaspoon black

Instructions
1.
Bring
one cup of water to a boil (I use the microwave) and pour the water into a very
large bowl. Add the salt and honey to the water and stir until the salt has
dissolved.
2.
Add
the garlic and seasoning to the bowl. Pour 7 cups of very cold water over
everything and stir until combined.
3.
Place
the chicken wings in the brine, cover the bowl and put it into the
refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours but no more than 8 hours.
4.
Preheat
the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking
spray. Remove the chicken wings from the brine and pat dry with a paper towel.
Place the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes
or until wings are a deep golden brown.
5.
While
the wings are in the oven, make the sauce. Combine all the ingredients in a
heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes,
until slightly thickened.
6.
Pour
the sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
7.
Serve
the wings immediately with cilantro leaves and lemon wedges to garnish if
desired.
