Ingredients

  • 3/4 to 1 kilo chicken wings
  • 2 cups coca-cola softdrinks
  • 1/2 cup banana ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp. oyster sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 piece onion chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. (to 2 Tbsp.) hot sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • roasted sesame seeds for garnishing
  • cooking oil for frying and sauteing

Instructions

How to Cook Spicy Coca-Cola Chicken:

  • Marinate the chicken with 1 cup of coca cola soft drink, ground black pepper for 30 minutes.
  • Drain the chicken and reserve the marinade. Heat cooking oil in a pan and fry the chicken until the skin is brown but not cooked.
  • Remove from the oil and put in a strainer or colander to drain excess oil and set aside.
  • In the same pan, remove the oil and leave only 2 Tbsp. and saute garlic and onion until soft.
  • Add the chicken and saute for 1 minute. Then add the marinade and another 1 cup of coca-cola, oyster sauce, soy sauce, banana ketchup, salt and hot sauce.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes or until the sauce is thick. Keep an eye on the sauce as it may dry up very quickly.
  • When the sauce is thick enough, turn off heat and serve hot. Garnish with sesame seeds or spring onions.

Notes

Cooking Tips of Spicy Coca Cola Chicken Recipe:

1. Marinating Magic: For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the Coca-Cola mixture. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeper into the meat, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
2. Crispy Skin Trick: To achieve crispy skin, pat the chicken dry before frying. This helps to remove excess moisture, ensuring that the skin crisps up nicely.
3. Sauce Perfection: To thicken the sauce more quickly, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the simmering sauce. Stir continuously until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
