[bubblygal]

ingredients:

12 pcs fresh chicken wings from pasar (frozen once = NOT TENDER)
1 can of coke/sprite/7-up ( i used 7-up)
1 small piece of rock sugar
2 1/4 teaspoon soya sauce
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
4 slices of ginger (shredded)
2 teaspoon of minced garlic

its simple alright?

Marination
cut chicken wings into 3 parts
marinate chicken wings with sesame oil, soya sauce & pepper.
wrap with plastic foodwrap & store in fridge for 1/2hour-1hour.

The Chicken

heat oil in wok.
add minced garlic & ginger. stir fry till fragrant.
pour in chicken wings & fry fast at high heat till 7/10 cooked.
add in oyster sauce, soya sauce & sugar
stir fry for a few seconds before adding in the carbonate drink.

Do not hurry, let the chicken suck abit of the oyster fragrant. if not straight away add water, not nice already.

let the chicken braise for 10-15minutes under low flame.
allow it to take in all the aroma of the gravy.
hmmmm.. yummy... yes....
its going to be ready...

Sounds awesome. I do something similar in a wok with a whole chicken but add some star anise to it. THANKS for this recipe - the guys will love it here!....and me too

kitchenelf, yup whole chicken is good too but i don't have the strenght to chop the chicken after that so i used wings.

The sauce is great to go along with some rice or noodles as well.

I have seen a few recipes for BBQ-ing whole chickens in a kettle bbq standing upright with a half full can of either Fanta, Coke or beer in it. Meant to be extremely moist and tasty I hear. Never tried it as I don't own a BBQ! If you try it, just make sure the can is open and half empty to avoid any nasty explosions!
