Chinese Coca Cola Chicken

Chinese New Year is an awesome celebration I plan to try to cook up a bit of Chinese for the first time this year as well. Will be yummy

 

 

 

 

You will need

1 lb chicken wings

1 can coca cola

7 T soy sauce

1/2 tsp crushed garlic

1/2 tsp crushed ginger

3 pinches Chinese five spice

salt and pepper

14 cups of flour

5 cups frying oil

Pour two thirds of the Coke and two thirds of the soy sauce into a pot.
Add the garlic and ginger, a pinch of five spice and chili powder and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cut the chicken wings into sections and add them to the cold pot.
Bring the liquid to the boil, then simmer it for 12 minutes.
Drain the cooked wings and allow them to cool slightly, reserving the liquid for later use.

 

 

To make the sauce, skim the chicken fat off the top of the liquid.
Without disturbing the sediment, return some of the cooking liquid to the pot.
Add the remaining Coke and soy sauce to the pot and simmer gently.
Season with salt and pepper and a pinch of five spice and chili powder.
The sauce can be reduced until it has a syrup like consistency, or to speed things up and produce more volume, simply thicken the liquid, off the stove, with a slurry of corn flour and water.

 

 

Season the corn flour with salt and pepper and a pinch of five spice and chili powder.
While the chicken is still warm, coat it in the seasoned corn flour.
Heat the oil to 175° and fry the chicken wings until the coating is crisp and brown.
Remove the fried chicken a drain it on a paper towel.
Serve Chinese Coca Cola Chicken drizzled with the soy and cola sauce, accompanied by fried rice.
