Coca-Cola Chicken Wings

Coca-Cola Chicken Wings

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings, wings and drummettes separated
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry or Chinese rice wine
• 3/4 cup Coca-Cola (not diet or anything flavored!)
• 2 scallions, chopped
• A few pinches of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Put the chicken wings in a large bowl and pour half of the soy sauce on top. Turn the wings so they are well-coated and allow them to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature.
2. Heat a wok or large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken wings until they are golden brown on each side but not cooked through, about 3 minutes each side. Pour in the other half of the soy sauce, the sherry, and the Coke and bring the liquid to a simmer. Simmer the wings uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until the liquid is reduced to a glaze.
3. Season the chicken with black pepper. Transfer the chicken to a plate, garnish with scallions, and serve.
