Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1.5 cups Coca-Cola (not diet)
- 5 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the chicken wings by patting them dry with paper towels and seasoning them with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chicken wings to the skillet in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary) and sear them for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the wings and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the Coca-Cola, soy sauce, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Return the seared chicken wings to the skillet and toss them in the sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the wings simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Uncover the skillet and increase the heat slightly to medium. Let the sauce reduce and thicken for about 5-7 minutes while stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the sauce has thickened and the wings are well-glazed, remove them from heat.
Transfer the wings to a serving plate, garnish with sliced green onions if desired, and serve hot.
