Ingredients

• 3 cups white sugar
• 1 pinch Cajun seasoning
• 2 pinches garlic powder, or to taste
• 4 cups reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon black food coloring paste
• 2 pinches onion powder, or to taste
• 1 (4 pound) package chicken wings

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix soy sauce, sugar, food coloring, onion powder, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning together in a bowl until paste dissolves completely. Carefully open the bag of chicken wings, keeping the seal intact. Pour in the soy sauce mixture, seal bag, and lay it flat in the refrigerator. Marinate, turning occasionally to coat and dye every piece, at least 2 hours.

Step 3

Pour wings and marinade into a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn wings and bake until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 5

Remove wings from the sauce and place in a bowl or platter labeled 'Bat Wings.'
