COCA COLA CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE - Guide Recipe
You don’t hear many murmurs about Coca Cola Chicken Wings in the States these days , but it was all the rage among Asians in the early 1990s. These days , when I sit down to watch my trashy Chinese soap operas , they still write in scenarios of kids requesting Coca Cola Chicken Wings from their parents in intense anticipation of a yummy meal–it’s definitely a reward and incentive!
INGREDIENTS :
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 slices ginger
- 1 can of cola
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 piece of dried orange peel (optional)
- 1 small cinnamon stick (optional)
- Salt , to taste
Instructions
- Wash and clean the chicken wings. Cut the wings at the joint , and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
- Pre-heat the wok until it starts to smoke. Add the oil , and spread it around to coat the bottom of the wok. Now add the ginger and the chicken wings. Spread out the wing pieces in a single layer , and lightly brown them for a few minutes on each side. The wok should be over high heat.
- Now add the cola , Shaoxing wine , dark soy sauce , light soy sauce , and (if using) , the orange peel and cinnamon stick. Bring it to a boil , cover the lid , and turn down the heat to medium. Let simmer for 12-15 minutes--until the sauce is almost dry (though there should still be a small pool of sauce at the bottom of the wok). Stir the wings , and add salt to taste.
- Now turn up the heat , and quickly stir the wings until the sauce coats each piece. Serve!
