CHICKEN WITH COCA-COLA AND LEMONS
Like many cooks, I keep a file of recipes I want to try. When I looked through it recently, there were a preponderance of lemon recipes, including one for roasted chicken with lemons and Coca-Cola from Frédérick Grasser-Hermé. Again, the savory and sweet. A food writer who has worked with chefs like Alain Ducasse, Grasser-Hermé is also the wife of the Parisian pastry chef Pierre Hermé. It humored me that a French cook would deign to baste her chicken with Coke. But it makes perfect sense: like many drinks - wheat beer, iced tea, sangria, Vietnamese sugar-cane juice - Coca-Cola is always improved by a wedge of lemon.

Steps:
- In a large, rimmed dish, sprinkle the lemon juice over both sides of the chicken. Rub with the salt and pepper, then the lemon zest. Cover and chill for 4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the chicken, skin side up, in a roasting pan. Reserve the lemon juice, diluting it with 1 tablespoon water. Cover the chicken with foil and roast for 30 minutes, basting it with the lemon juice every 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cover the bottom of a medium sauté pan with a thin film of olive oil. Place over medium heat and add the onion and ginger. Cook until the onions are soft and golden, about 8 minutes, then stir in the garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
- After the chicken has cooked for 30 minutes, lower the heat to 300 degrees and remove the foil. Begin basting every 10 minutes with the Coca-Cola, until the chicken juices run clear, about 1 hour more. Reheat the onions, adding the vinegars and 2 tablespoons of the chicken juices. Cook for 1 minute. Serve the chicken topped with the onions and pan drippings.

Steps:
- Melt the butter/margarine in the pot at medium heat.
- Add the garlic.
- Once the garlic is browning, add your chicken pieces.
- When chicken is lightly browned on both sides, add the onions diced.
- Once onions are almost fully cooked, add the oxtail soup.
- Stir lightly to spread the oxtail over the chicken pieces, then add half the can of coke and continue stirring at medium heat.
- Boil your potatoes and carrots (seperately) in the meantime. I prefer to do them in the microwave which is fairly quick.
- When the sauce has begun to thicken, add the potatoes and carrots cut into bite sizes.
- Simmer at low-medium heat.
- Add the bay leaf.
- Taste it, if it's too sour still, add a bit more coke.
- Serve warm over a bed of rice or pasta.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken pieces with skin and bone. This will help the chicken stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Use a large pot: You'll need a large pot to fit the chicken and the Coca-Cola. A Dutch oven or a stockpot is a good option.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a whole chicken, cut it into pieces so that it fits comfortably in the pot. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Bring the Coca-Cola to a boil before adding the chicken: This will help to caramelize the sugar in the Coca-Cola and give the chicken a delicious brown color.
- Simmer the chicken for at least 1 hour: This will allow the chicken to cook through and absorb the flavors of the Coca-Cola.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables are all great options.
Conclusion:
Chicken in Coca-Cola is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The Coca-Cola adds a unique sweetness and flavor to the chicken, and the chicken comes out moist and tender. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
