Ingredients:
- 1 kg chicken wings
- 1/2 liter of Coca-Cola
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- A sprinkle of oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Olive oil for greasing
Instructions:
- Prepare the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the Coca-Cola, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of oregano. Stir the mixture until well combined.
- Heat the Sauce: Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prep the Wings: Preheat your oven to 150°C (approximately 300°F). Lightly grease an oven tray with olive oil. Lay out the chicken wings on the tray and season them with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Initial Baking: Place the seasoned chicken wings in the oven and bake until they start to achieve a golden hue.
- Glaze the Wings: Once the wings are golden, remove them from the oven and pour half of the Coca-Cola sauce over them, ensuring they’re well-coated. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Monitor and Turn: Keep an eye on the sauce level. If it reduces significantly, add more from your reserved portion. Make sure to turn the chicken wings occasionally to ensure even cooking and glazing on both sides.
Serving Suggestion: Serve these succulent wings with a side of fresh coleslaw or a crisp garden salad. The cool crunch of the vegetables contrasts beautifully with the sweet and sticky glaze of the wings.
Tip: The unique sweetness of the Coca-Cola glaze is a conversation starter. If you’re looking to experiment further, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes to the sauce for a touch of heat.
Savor the fusion of flavors and enjoy this unique take on a beloved classic. Whether you’re a wing aficionado or just looking for a fresh twist, these Coca-Cola glazed chicken wings are sure to impress.
