Have you added Coca-Cola to your chicken? It is a popular dish in China called Coca-Cola Chicken or 可乐鸡. It’s delicious, savory and sweet and so easy to make. Grab your wok, let’s go!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken drumsticks
- 2 tbsp oil

- 1/2 tbsp of dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp of light soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp white sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Pro-tip: Poke chicken drumsticks with a fork, so when cooking, the flavor becomes stronger.
- Pre-heat the wok until it starts to smoke. Add the oil, spread it around to coat the bottom of the wok. In oiled wok, add minced ginger, fry until fragrant. Add chicken drumsticks, spread around so the chicken forms a single layer.
- Fry each side for 3-4 min. until golden brown. The wok should be on high heat.
- Add Coca-Cola, light soy sauce, sugar, salt. Pro-tip: you want to add dark soy sauce to give the chicken that nice deeper color.
- Bring it to a boil, cover the lid and turn down the heat to medium, let it simmer for 10-11 min. Stirring occasionally. Until there is a small pool of sauce at the bottom of the wok.
- Remember, now turn up the heat, stir until everything is well coated.
