Happy Call Double Sided Pan Coca Cola Chicken Wings

IMG_2434

I am into the Happy Call Double Sided Pan craze too! I have bought my Happy Call Double Sided Pan from G market a couple of weeks back and has been looking for a simple recipe to use the pan. As I don't cook so it will be challenging for me to try any recipe that involes a lot of processes or cutting.

I chanced upon Noob Cook Coca Cola Chicken Wings recipe and I thought it was rather simple and easy. So over the weekend, the Happy Call Double Sided Pan lost its virginity to a novice cook.

I had 12 mid joint chicken wings marinaded for 30 minutes in light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sesame oil . Noob Cook recipe mentioned to marinade for 15 minutes but I double it hoping that the meat will be more flavourful.

Next I brown the chicken wings on both sides beside pouring the coca cola, water and left over marinade sauce into the pan and let it simmer until it is reduced to a dark sticky syrup. I suspect I used too much of the liquid mixture and it told more than 15-20 minutes (mentioned in Noob Cook recipe) for it to be reduced to a dark sticky syrup

After about 30 minutes... this is my final product! Coca Cola Chicken Wings. It looks yummy isn't it?

    1. According to Noob Cook recipe, the Coke helps to tenderise the chicken and also give it a sweet glaze.

    1. Hi Mdm Susanna Wong,

      I know about Everything Korean. Unfortunately I am not supporting them as they were quite unprofessional. They stole pictures from my friend's blog and removed the watermarks, credit it to themself.
