Cola chicken wings are a delicacy made with chicken wings and cola as the main ingredients, with ginger, green onions, soy sauce, salt and other seasonings. It is best to use chicken wings. Coca-Cola chicken wings are delicious, rich in color and chicken. A delicious dish that is tender, salty and sweet, here is the specific recipe for Coke Chicken Wings.

Ingredients: 10 chicken wings, I used whole wings, you can also use only the center or root of the wings, depending on your preference; a 600ml bottle of Coke; one star anise, a small piece of cinnamon, fragrant Two leaves, one flap of tangerine peel; four porcelain spoons of light soy sauce, about 40g. There is no salt, soy sauce is the source of salty taste; 5 or 6 slices of old ginger, 3 or 4 garlic cloves, 3 or 4 shallots tied into knots; 20g~60g of brown sugar will do, the 60g version is sweeter, 20g is suitable for different tastes Such a sweet person.

I thought about the Coke chicken wings I made before. Basically, Coke is cooked with a little other things. Chicken wings are easy to overcook, and they tend to be too sweet on the outside but tasteless on the inside. This is probably the reason why I don’t like Coke chicken wings... How to solve it? Look down.

1. Process the chicken wings.

Clean up any excess hair, hair needles or yellow dirt that may be on the chicken wings.

2. Blanch the chicken wings.

Special attention should be paid to the blanch water temperature and time. In boiling water, use medium heat and blanch 3 to 4 chicken wings at a time and take them out after 30 seconds.

Why should the time be so precise when blanching chicken wings? Now, we know that most of the time when we need to blanch large pieces of meat, we will choose to put the meat into the pot with cold water. After the water is boiled, the blood foam in the ingredients will be cooked out, and the fishy removal effect is better. But this is for #large, #hard, #hard-to-cook meat. Chicken wings are soft and tender and easy to cook. If you use this method to blanch them, they will become overcooked. Blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Just right. Blanch 3 to 4 (that is, a relatively small amount) chicken wings at a time to maintain the water temperature.

You will also have an unexpected gain, that is, the skin of chicken wings blanched in boiling water becomes very tender and smooth. Because the surface of chicken wings is covered with skin, the chicken skin will soften into jelly-like form under high temperature, adding extra points to the taste.

Remember, boil water for 30 seconds, don’t boil it for too long.

3. Cook the marinade.

Cola chicken wings tend to be too sweet on the outside but tasteless on the inside. This is because the marinade does not have enough flavor. Then first cook the marinade until it is fragrant. Except for the light soy sauce and brown sugar, add all the other ingredients into the pot together, including cola. Cook for 15 minutes to bring out the flavor of the spices, no need to add water.

4. Boil chicken wings.

Cook the simple brine, add light soy sauce, brown sugar, and cook together with the chicken wings. After boiling over high heat, reduce the heat to medium, keep the pot rolling, and cook for about 20 minutes.

After cooking for a while, you will obviously see large and dense bubbles coming out of the pot. When you first put the chicken wings in, do you feel like the soup can’t even cover the chicken wings? It doesn't matter, it will be covered when cooking.

When it cooks for about 15 minutes, the bubbles gradually become smaller, only 2cm of soup remains, and the chicken wings are more beautifully colored.

Cook for another 5 minutes, the bubbles will become smaller, and the chicken wings will be shiny and beautiful.

As soon as the soup dries up, it can be taken out of the pot. Note that it will get mushy very easily in the last five minutes, so be sure to stir frequently and do not leave the stove.

The Coke chicken wings cooked in this way are indeed completely different from what I have made before! The chicken wings have smooth skin and tender meat, and are filled with sweetness from the inside out. Moreover, the sugar under high temperature has a slight caramelizing effect, and it smells very fragrant. I have to admit again, I have underestimated Coke wings over the years.
