Coca cola was introduced to HK in the 1960s and it made its way into a couple of recipes – boiled cola with ginger drink and coca cola chicken. Coca cola wings are one of those ones which I remember Mum making and thinking, how are we allowed to eat these as she wouldn’t allow us to drink a can of coke (when we were younger)! I started making these for my kids only recently and they are gobbled up before they even eat their rice!

Cooking Instructions

  1. Put the wings in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil, then boil for five minutes, skimming off the impurities or scum that float on the surface with a large spoon. Use a slotted spoon to remove the wings and keep the chicken broth for other uses.
  2. In a wok/pan fry – put 1 tbsp of oil and heat, add in the ginger and fry for about 30 seconds to start releasing aromas. Then throw in the chicken wings and brown them for about 3-5 minutes, this adds extra flavour.
  3. Now add in the rest of the ingredients – Shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, cloves and the tin of cola. Bring this to the boil and lower to a simmer and cover with a lid and let it bubble away for about 15 minutes until the liquid has reduced to sticky sauce.
  4. Toss the wings in the sticky sauce and taste and season. Bring up the heat to full again so there is a final caramelisation of the sauce and it coats the lovely wings.
