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)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the chicken wings by patting them dry with paper towels and seasoning them with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Return the seared chicken wings to the skillet and toss them in the sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the wings simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Once the sauce has thickened and the wings are well-glazed, remove them from heat.
Step 10
Transfer the wings to a serving plate, garnish with sliced green onions if desired, and serve hot.
