Coca cola chicken wings

Chicken second courses

The ticket to cooking with Coke is that you need to pick up the original, not the diet or zero varieties. While those carry the flavor, they do not bear the sugar cane. And you need that sugar to as a thickener and texture builder. What's cool about this recipe is that you're going to be braising succulent, tender bone-in wings, while making a sauce. By the time you pull your wings out of the oven, they'll be coated in a complex barbecue-esque sauce that hits that umami factor on your palette. This flavor comes from the combination of soy sauce, garlic and Coke marrying together. This dish is perfect for a low maintenance dinner in with friends or to take to a Super Bowl party or potluck. This recipe is easily doubled, tripled and quadrupled. As a note: By leaving the chicken wings out of this recipe, you can actually use the ingredients to make a flavorful stovetop barbecue sauce. Combine all the same ingredients, except for the chicken and canola oil, in a medium-sized sauce pan. Bring the ingredients to a boil over medium heat; lower the temperature to simmer the ingredients for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until the sauce is nappant (thick enough to coat the back a wooden spoon). Once it's thick, run the sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove the garlic pieces. Serve warm.
