Oh Boy!!! Chicken wings!


My boys love Love LOVE chicken wings. I got the following comment from Tricia . Philip and Thomas will be so excited to taste this one! We will be giving it a try this weekend! I don't know how healthy these are but I bet they are good!!! I feel so blessed to get your great ideas! How cool is that?

Hi! I'm so excited about this blog. We are currently waiting for an SN referral but in the meantime we are hosting a foreign exchange student from China. She shared this recipe with us and it is a big hit with my picky eaters and everyone that had come over and eaten it.

Coca-Cola Chicken Wings

20 chicken wings (about 3 per person)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup dark soy sauce
1 chopped green onion
salt
1 dried aniseed (star anise)
1 liter of Coca Cola

Take thawed chicken wings and cut three slits on each side of the wing. This will allow the sauce to flavor throughout the wing. Put them into a collander. Salt them liberally. Set them aside for five minutes.
While the chicken is waiting, pour the oil into a deep and wide pot. I use the turbo cooker. It is best if you have a pot with a lid. Heat the oil on high for 4 minutes. Put the aniseed in the oil and leave it for 1 minute. Then add the chopped green onion. Let it cook on medium. While the onion cooks, rinse the salt off of the chicken. Then add half of the soy sauce into the pot. Place 10 of the chicken wings into the pot. Rotate them until the soy sauce has colored all of the outsides of the wings. Place the rest of the wings in the pot. Pour the remaining soy sauce on the top and rotate your new wings until it is colored by the soy sauce. Then pour enough coke to just cover the chicken wings. You may not need the whole liter. The amount you need depends on the type of pot you used. Then cook them covered on high for 10 minutes, then let them simmer for 20 minutes. Check to make sure the chicken is done before serving. We serve this on top of rice with a little of the Coca Cola gravy. We like to serve grilled zucchini on the side.

Enjoy,
Tricia Stringer

  1. Paul would love this recipe he's a cocoa cola fan.

    Tonight I made a great dressing for our salad.
    I had a little bit of Orange marmalade left so I added balsamic vinegar and oil mixed it all together and put over mixed lettuce with baby tomatoes cut in half and segments of fresh mandarin oranges. Yum Yum!
