Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds chicken wings ((900g))
2 tablespoons oil
3 slices ginger
1 can cola ((regular, not diet))
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))

Steps:

  • 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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken wings: Look for wings that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid wings that are too small or have a lot of skin.
  • Make sure the wings are thoroughly coated in the brine: This will help to ensure that they are flavorful and juicy. You can use a large bowl or a zip-top bag to coat the wings in the brine.
  • Let the wings brine for at least 4 hours, or overnight: The longer the wings brine, the more flavorful they will be. If you are short on time, you can brine the wings for as little as 30 minutes, but the flavor will not be as pronounced.
  • Rinse the wings thoroughly before cooking: This will help to remove any excess salt from the brine.
  • Cook the wings according to the recipe: There are many different ways to cook chicken wings, so be sure to follow the instructions in the recipe you are using.
  • Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and barbecue sauce are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Cola-brined chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The cola brine helps to tenderize the chicken and gives it a unique flavor. These wings are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
