Cola Chicken Wings

A modern Chinese dish that combines sweet cola with savory soy sauce for a unique and delicious flavor profile.

Cooking Time: 35 minutes | Difficulty: Beginner

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Wings

Clean the chicken wings and pat them dry. Make small cuts on both sides to help the flavors penetrate better during cooking.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the chicken wings until they turn golden brown on both sides. This creates a nice texture and seals in the juices.

Cover and simmer the wings in the cola mixture for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce.

Step 5: Final Glazing

Remove the lid and increase heat to reduce the sauce until it becomes thick and glossy, coating the wings beautifully.
