Step 1: Black marinade
Start with about 2 pounds of whole 3 piece chicken wings. Toss them in olive oil then season with Dad’s All Purpose seasoning.
Next, in a bowl, add hot sauce, soy sauce, honey, bbq sauce and black food dye. Mix the ingredients together. Place the seasoned chicken wings in a ziplock bag and pour in the black marinade. Close it up and make sure to cover everything in the sauce.
Set it in the fridge for at least 1 hour and allow it to marinate and soak in the color.
