Introduction: Coca Cola Chicken Wings
Coca Cola chicken is a surprisingly tasty, easy recipe for making a different style of wings. A popular dish in China, the recipe for Coca Cola chicken is simple in its make up and closely resembles that of soy sauce chicken. The addition of Coca Cola creates a sweet, caramel flavor, perfectly offset by fresh green onions. I chose to use Sherry vinegar in this recipe, but Mirin or rice wine would create a more authentic finished dish.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Serve chicken topped with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, wings and drummettes separated
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
- 3/4 cup Coca-Cola - I used the kind with real sugar
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions:
- Marinate the chicken wings in half the soy sauce for 15 minutes at room temperature, turning to coat both sides of wings.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining soy sauce, Coca Cola, and vinegar.
- Heat oil in a large skillet.
- Sear chicken wings until browned - about 3 minutes on each side.
- Add soy-coke mixture and bring to a simmer.
- Simmer over very low heat, uncovered, until the sauce is reduced, about 25 minutes.
Serve chicken topped with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.
Enjoy!

Hi, I just have a quick question.
Are the cups in this recipe the english or the american cups?

American cups worked tikiti-boo. Turned out delicious.

Made them just now, every single one eaten and pot licked clean. The spring onion and sesame sprinkle is a great finishing touch. I added some garlic and ginger, and some copped rep pepper right at the end.

I don't eat chicken but this would be fun to try with tofu.

No it wouldn't.
Chicken wings only.

Why only chickens wings? I don't understand why anyone would care that I'm a vegetarian. It's not like me being a vegetarian affects you in anyway. I have never eaten meet and I never will!

I'll bet it would taste good with seitan too. Have you tried it? (sadly, seitan is not for people who can't have gluten)

I haven't tried seitan but have heard good things about. It's kind of like tofu but more firm right? Thanks for the suggestion!

Neither do I, But I will definitely share it! My friends will love it!

I'll bet any leftover chicken meat would be great in a wrap with some shredded carrot and mixed greens. Or in a rice wrap (like a spring roll, the kind that isn't fried) if you get sick of other tortillas for lunch during "wrap week." ;)

Looked online to see if there was a sub for the sherry vinegar since I do not have it.. Yep, http://www.foodsubs.com/Vinegars.html Looks like my rice vinegar will work. Hehe
Thanks Scoochmaroo! I second what someone else said, you always amaze me with your Instructables =D

Oops, did not completely read the directions until I was putting it in word to save until later... You suggested rice vinegar. Teehee
