- as needed vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup Coca Cola

Let’s Make Coca Cola Chicken Wings
To make Coca Cola chicken wings, first I inserted a knife with a round tip into each wing to open them well so that when I wash them, I can clean the internal blood residues thoroughly.
Before washing them, I leave them soaking in cold water for at least half an hour to clean them well inside. (Optional step).
Now I pat them dry with a towel to dry them well before frying.
After I have arranged them well in the pan, I also added a clove of garlic so that when it turns golden on the pan side, the wings will also turn golden without needing to move them.
Golden, I covered them with vegetable oil and fried them on both sides for 2 minutes each before draining off all the excess oil.
After discarding the oil, I added half a glass of white wine to flavor the wings.
Then, let the alcohol from the wine evaporate and season with salt.
To summarize, I first fried them and removed the excess oil, deglazed with white wine, and now we’re ready to add the Coca Cola which will caramelize the wings as they continue to cook.
Additionally, to make them even more flavorful, I added slices of lemon and slices of fresh ginger.
Finally, cook the Coca Cola chicken wings for about 20 minutes or until they become nice and creamy and succulent.
The Coca Cola chicken wings are ready to be served and enjoyed piping hot.
Enjoy your meal from Dadcook and Noah!..
