When it comes to finger-licking comfort food, chicken wings are always a hit. But if you’re looking for a new twist on the classic wing, try this irresistible variation: Chicken Wings with Coca-Cola. Yes, you read that right — Coca-Cola! This surprisingly simple ingredient brings a perfect balance of sweetness, caramelization, and flavor depth to your wings.
Whether you’re prepping for game day, a family dinner, or a potluck with friends, these sticky Coca-Cola chicken wings are guaranteed to disappear fast. They’re easy to make, full of flavor, and offer the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and slightly spicy.
Why Coca-Cola?
Coca-Cola isn’t just a popular soft drink — it’s also a fantastic cooking ingredient. Thanks to its high sugar content and unique blend of flavors, Coke works wonders in marinades and glazes. When simmered with soy sauce, garlic, and other seasonings, it reduces into a glossy, sticky glaze that clings to each wing and brings out an incredible flavor.

- 2 lbs (about 1 kg) chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
