Braised Cola Chicken Wings

0 comments

Finally, finally, finally I managed to try something new after taking a good few months break since the last posting... even that was more like an improved version of an earlier dish.  I foresee that this year will be another unproductive year in this regard, with the family into a new routine and me having lesser time than before to run my kitchen experiments.  I need quick fixes when it comes to planning meals and more often than not it meant falling back to what I am already familiar with.  Not to mention that I got lazy with hopping around food blogs for inspirations as well in recent months.

But I have to admit that this one caught my eyes a few weeks back - simple enough with condiments that do not require hunting around for.  Slight tweaks were made to this recipe which was picked up from NoobCook.


Ingredients:

  • 8 chicken wings (drumlet separated from mid-joint)
  • 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
  • 300ml of regular coke
  • 300ml of water


Preparation:

  • Marinate chicken wings with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sesame oil overnight.
  • Heat oil in pan and brown the chicken wings lightly (in batches if necessary).
  • Return all the wings to the same pan or transfer to another pot.
  • Add in coke, water and remaining marinate sauce to pot / pan.
  • Let simmer for 20 minutes.
