Techniques
  • 1 can original Coca-Cola
  • 8 whole chicken wings
Cut a couple of times across each side of the wings so the flavour penetrates.
Marinate 15 minutes with a quarter teaspoon salt, an eighth teaspoon white pepper and a teaspoon of liaojiu.
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 0.125 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp liaojiu
  • oil
Heat a thin layer of oil in a pan on medium, lay the wings in, cover and fry one side about five minutes until lightly browned.
Flip, add a piece of ginger and fry the other side about the same time.
  • ginger
  • ½ whole cinnamon stick
  • bay leaf
Add half a cinnamon stick and a small piece of bay leaf and fry about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the can of cola, a tablespoon of soy sauce, two tablespoons of liaojiu and half a teaspoon of dark soy sauce for colour.
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp liaojiu
  • ½ tsp dark soy sauce
Bring to a boil, then let it bubble uncovered over the same medium flame about 10 minutes, watching it down to a spoon coating consistency.
  • sliced ginger
Remove and garnish with a bit of sliced ginger.
