What does summer mean to you? 

If you had to describe summer in four words, which four words would you use? My Four Words? “HOT GRILLING COUNTRY DAYS”. Yes my friends, because that’s exactly what summer time brings to this part of the country, and for the most part that is what spring has brought us too. The days are long and hot;  the nights are warm, the country skies are full of bright stars and the fireflies come out in the yards and fields.

All of this usually, means that the grill is among the top hangout spots for us, along with the fishing pond, and the old country store that houses the beer, mikes hard lemonade, and cokes in a glass bottle. *this being one of my favorite things…the 
Coca-Cola  in a glass bottle that is ;)* 

 

*random note: Coca-Cola in a glass bottle and a piece of hoop cheese = one of my all time favorite snacks*

 
 

With that being said, I was more than excited when Coca-Cola contacted me a few weeks ago and asked me if I’d recreate one of their new recipes from their “My Coke Rewards Meals Recipes“.  After spending a little while looking over the wonderful recipes from Chef G. Garvin and Chef Ingrid Hoffmann, I finally decided to make the Coca-Cola BBQ Wings from Chef G. Garvin. I’d never made BBQ sauce before, so I thought this would be a great time for me to do so. I did use drumsticks instead of wings, and changed a few ingredients and amounts of some things to make it perfect for us. 

**Using the recipe below, you will have an extra 2-3 cups of sauce. I did this on purpose so that I could store the extra BBQ sauce to make more BBQ drumsticks If you want less sauce, divide the sauce recipe in half or use more chicken drumsticks.** 

 

 

This is my take on Chef G. Garvin’s Coca-Cola BBQ Wings from My Coke Rewards.
