Coca-Cola Chicken Wings for Restobar Business

Steps

1. 1
   Prepare the garnish: take the green tops of spring onions (5–10g) and cut diagonally as thin as possible, or slice into thin strips. Place in a bowl of ice water and let sit — the pieces will curl and open up beautifully for presentation.

   Tip: This technique of curling spring onion in ice water works as a garnish for many dishes, not just this one.

   ~5 min
2. 2
   In a pan, melt 5g of butter over medium heat. Add 10g julienned spring onion (white part) and sauté lightly until aromatic — just enough to perfume the butter, not to fully cook.

   ~2 min
3. 3
   Add 200ml of Coca-Cola and let it reduce. Add a pinch of garlic powder, 2 generous pinches of salt, and 5g of white sugar. Stir and continue reducing until the sauce thickens slightly.

   Tip: It is important that the sauce reduces well before adding the cornstarch slurry.

   ~8 min
4. 4
   Dissolve 1 tsp cornstarch in approximately double the amount of water. Add to the sauce and stir until thickened. Once the sauce boils and reaches a glossy consistency, turn off the heat.

   ~2 min
5. 5
   Heat frying oil in a separate pan or fryer. Fry the chicken wings until well browned and cooked through — approximately 4 minutes per side. The wings should have good color. Drain well.

   Tip: This dark sauce is ideal for wings that look slightly imperfect — the sauce covers them beautifully.

   ~10 min
6. 6
   Drain the wings, add to the sauce in the pan, and toss so every wing is well coated. Alternatively, plate the wings and spoon sauce generously over the top.

   ~1 min
7. 7
   Plate the sauced wings. Garnish with a pinch of white sesame seeds, the curled spring onion tops drained from ice water, and shoestring potatoes on the side.

   ~2 min
