Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups dark brown sugar
  2. 1 cup dark soy sauce
  3. 1 cup teriyaki sauce
  4. 1 cup honey hickory barbeque sauce (Optional)
  5. 1 drop black food coloring, or as needed
  6. 4 pounds chicken wings

Instructions

  1. Whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and barbeque sauce together in a large glass bowl until sugar is dissolved. Stir black food coloring in small amounts into the mixture until you get the desired dark color. Liberally pierce the wings with a fork; add to the sauce.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour to overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. Pour the chicken and sauce into a large baking dish.
  5. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I didn’t use food colouring. These were my son’s favorite. He’d probably drink the sauce if allowed.

Daniel Wallace
Awesome recipe the kids got a huge kick out of it. Even took it a step further and made “rotten potatoes “. Thanks for sharing!
Amber Smith
Made these last year for work and I now have had many request to make them again. They were very easy to do and tasted very good too.
Sarah Roberts
Delicious, juicy and very tasty.

While these were okay. I thought the whole theme of the idea grand. I had to add several upon several drops to get the really dark black look because in the marinating…they didn’t look all the black to me, dark with a greenish look to them. The sauce was very zippy. I think if my kids want these again, I’d knock down the teriyaki and soy sauce just a bit. Other then that, my kids thought there were just fine.

Yummy!!!

I ended up needing several drops of color more than called for but otherwise followed the recipe. It tasted ok, although a little unappetizing where the food coloring made the fatty parts of the skin look…well just very unappetizing. My daughter loved them but I think next time I’ll try to remove the skins.

Season these to your own taste – such as more or less sugar, low sodium soy sauce, add garlic, ginger, honey – whatever your family & friends prefer, but the key to getting them dark is the combo of soy (and/or teriyaki) along with the black food coloring. Have fun with it!
