I noticed on a lot of oriental U tube cooking shows that they use a bottle of Coke or cola in meat or chicken wings when making them in a wok. I looked up cola wing recipes and tried one tonight because they looked good! I combined a couple of recipes and we both liked them for a light supper. Here's what I did:
COLA WINGS:
2 pounds chicken wings (fresh)
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil. I think peanut oil would be fine too
3 slices ginger (I had ginger paste in the tube and just added that instead)
1 cup of cola (not diet, you need the sugar to get it to caramelize)
3 Tablespoons of soy sauce.
salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
Fill a wok half full of water and bring to a boil. Add wings that you have washed well and disjointed into two parts and let boil for 5 minutes. (this ensures they are thoroughly cooked later on and gets rid of some of the fat). Then remove them from the water onto a plate, draining the water and rinsing the wok well. Place the wok back on a high heat burner and add the oil and ginger. Place wings in a single layer into wok and brown each side well. Then add the soy sauce and cola (I used Coke) in. turn down heat a little to a low boil. cook uncovered until the sauce turns thick and the wings are cooked well. add a little salt to taste if desired and sprinkle with chopped green onions and seasame seeds to serve.
