Am I Serious about Coca Cola Chicken Wings?
At this point, I think you're a little curious about these coca cola chicken wings but not totally sold on them right? There is some magic that occurs when Coke, or Pepsi bubbles around these chicken wings that totally tenderizes them, and infuses them with sticky savory goodness.
The Flavors of Coca Cola Chicken Wings
These coca cola chicken wings are so tender and fall off the bone, coated with a sticky glaze thats slightly sweet but also savory and a hint of spice. For me that is everything I look for in wings!
Is this Coca Cola Chicken Wings recipe a Chinese Recipe?
Oddly enough, I tried to search for the origins of this chicken wing dish but I could not locate it. I grew up eating this chicken, and it was one of my favorites. This is a Chinese American Fusion dish that I hope will be a new favorite in your home too!
Do These Wings Taste like Soda?
These wings actually do not taste like soda, and the sugar in the soda compliments the wings so well, and provide the wings with the sticky addicting glaze.
Can I use Diet Soda?
Unfortunately, the sweeteners in diet sodas don't reduce well to form a sticky glaze so regular Coke and Pepsi are recommended.
