Fry the Chicken:
- Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and fry until they are half cooked and lightly golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
-
Sauté Aromatics:
- In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary. Sauté the chopped onion until it becomes soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and sliced chili peppers, cooking until fragrant and slightly golden.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Return the partially cooked chicken to the pan. Season with black pepper, salt, and sweet soy sauce. Pour in enough chicken broth to cover the chicken halfway. Let the mixture simmer until the liquid reduces slightly.
-
Add Coca-Cola:
- Pour in 250 ml of Coca-Cola. Continue to cook the chicken, allowing the liquid to reduce and thicken, and the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to ensure the chicken is evenly coated and the sauce is well incorporated.
-
Final Touches:
- Once the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, adjust the seasoning with additional salt or sugar if needed. Serve the chicken hot, garnished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.
