Chris and Jeff make a variation on traditional Chinese Coca Cola Chicken wings using a Downeast favorite, Moxie. America’s oldest bottled sodas makes a great chicken wing!
Moxie Chicken Wings
- 1 lb chicken wings
- 6 fl ounces Moxie soda
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon shao xing wine
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3-4 coins of ginger
- dried tangerine peel
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- salt to taste (optional)
- scallion, green part, chopped for garnish
- oil for pan frying
- Add oil to a hot skillet, then add chicken wings. Brown the wings for a couple minutes, the flip to get color on the other side of the wings.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, cover, lower heat to low and allow to braise/simmer.
- In about 15 minutes remove cover and then keep your eyes on the pan. Toss the wings in the pan occasionally and remove from heat when the liquid reaches a thick glaze. Careful that you don’t allow it to burn!
- Add salt to taste.
- Plate the wings, pour remaining sauce onto the wings (without the aromatics). Garnish with scallion greens, and serve!
