Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 can coca cola
- 3 stalks green onions cut into thirds
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
Instructions
- Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat up a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet (this is the one I use and recommend) over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken wings in a single layer.
- Sear the chicken wings on both sides for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the skin is golden. You can add more oil as needed.
- After searing the wings on both sides, add the cola, green onions, shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and dark soy sauce to the skillet.
- Simmer the mixture in the skillet for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to coat your chicken wings.
- Discard the green onions and serve.
