Mexican Co-Cola Drumsticks are a unique twist on traditional chicken drumsticks. The cola sauce gives the chicken a sweet and savory flavor, while the crispiness of the chicken is sure to satisfy your cravings. This recipe is perfect for a family dinner or a BBQ party with friends. It's a crowd-pleaser that everyone will love!

Instructions

1.In a large saucepan, combine the cola, onion, brown sugar, garlic, ketchup, ginger, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
2.Rinse the chicken drumsticks and pat them dry. In a large skillet, heat 1/2 inch of peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, in batches, and brown on all sides until golden, about 15 minutes per batch.
3.Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it in a large baking dish. Pour the cola mixture over the top and add enough chicken broth to come halfway up the sides of the chicken.
4.Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven at 375°F for 45 minutes, basting once or twice with the sauce, until the chicken is cooked through.
5.Remove the foil from the baking dish and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and crisp.
