Seasoning Guide: Start with the listed baseline amounts, then adjust gradually after tasting. Fine-tune salt, sugar, acid, and finishing oils in small increments.
Score and Wash Chicken Wings
Wash the chicken wings clean. Score the back of each wing twice with a knife to help marinade penetrate.
Add Ginger Slices to Water
Add two slices of ginger and bring to a boil.
Prepare Cola and Julienne Ginger
Prepare one can of cola. Julienne another slice of ginger.
Blanch Wings and Drain
Once water boils, blanch the wings for about 2 minutes. Remove, rinse, and set aside.
Pan-fry Blanched Wings
Pat the blanched chicken wings dry and pan-fry in oil until both sides are golden and fragrant.
Add Ginger and Beer, Stir-fry
Once both sides are seared, add julienned ginger and beer. Stir-fry until fragrant.
Add Soy Sauce
Add one tablespoon of soy sauce and stir to coat the wings evenly for color and flavor.
Toss Until Evenly Colored
Toss and stir-fry until the wings are evenly coated and colored.
Add Cola and Simmer
Pour in the cola. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat, cover, and braise.
Season and Reduce Sauce
When the liquid reduces by half, add salt to taste. Increase to high heat and reduce the sauce to a glaze.
Plate and Garnish
Transfer the glazed chicken wings to a plate and sprinkle with toasted white sesame seeds.
Serving Suggestion
Serve Cola Chicken Wings hot with plain rice and one light vegetable side.
