Description

Fried chicken wings in Coca-Cola is a dish of modern Chinese cuisine that is definitely worth trying. The sauce based on Coca-Cola turns out glossy, slightly sweet and salty, with a pleasant caramel flavor. You can adjust the spiciness and saltiness to your taste. The wings are first fried, and then simmered in Coke, which, together with soy sauce, evaporates to create a wonderful thick sauce.

Instructions

Wash the chicken wings, pat them dry, and cut them.
At the same time, the smallest part of the wing, the "drumette," is not needed. Discard or set aside for making broth.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil, sprinkle sugar. Stir, the sugar will first turn into syrup, then into caramel.
Put all the wings in a single layer into the caramel. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning several times, until golden brown.
Pour soy sauce into the skillet, add chili sauce. If you want a spicy dish, use regular ketchup instead of chili sauce.
Stir, fry for another minute.
Pour Coca-Cola into the skillet, it should barely cover the chicken wings. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat slightly so the liquid boils vigorously but does not escape. This way, the sauce will thicken faster, and the wings will be fried, not boiled. Now you can taste the sauce, adjust the spiciness and saltiness to your liking.
Be careful with spices; as the sauce thickens, the flavor will become more intense. When the sauce thickens and there is about a third of the initial liquid left, the dish is ready.
Sprinkle the chicken wings in Coca-Cola with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Transfer the sauce from the skillet to a sauceboat and serve it with the wings. Enjoy your meal!
