Ingredients

chicken wing mid-sections 10 pieces

cola half bottle

green onion half piece

ginger slices 3 slices

garlic 4 cloves

white sesame seeds a small amount

salad oil as needed

soy sauce as needed

salt to taste

Instructions

Step 1

Wash the selected chicken wings in water.

Step 2

Use a knife to make three slashes in the washed chicken wings, as shown in the picture, so they can better absorb the flavors during the marinating process.

Step 3

Pour cola over the chicken wings, enough to cover them; then add a small amount of soy sauce and salt, mix well, and set aside to marinate. It's better to marinate for a longer time; I marinated mine for 3 hours.

Step 4

Prepare the side ingredients: cut the scallions, ginger, and garlic into chunks respectively.

Step 5

Take the marinated chicken wings out and drain the liquid.

Step 6

Preheat the pan, pour in oil, add the prepared scallions, ginger, and garlic, and stir-fry over high heat until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the chicken wings and stir-fry.

Step 8

Stir-fry until both sides are golden brown.

Step 9

Pour in the cola (I used fresh cola; the cola used to marinate the chicken wings was not used), cover the pot with a lid, and simmer over low heat for 3 minutes.

Step 10

Reduce the sauce over high heat, and the delicious chicken wings are ready.
