DIRECTIONS
- Whisk together salt, sugar, garlic, and Florida Man Double IPA in a large mixing bowl until salt and sugar are dissolved. Add water, bay leaf, orange slices and chicken wings. If necessary, add water until all the wings are submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 10-12 hours, up to 24 hours.
