Ingredients

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Wings: Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the chicken wings. Fry the wings, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes. Transfer the browned wings to a plate and set them aside.

2. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder. If you’re using Coca-Cola for an extra layer of flavor and sweetness, stir it in now. Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved and the sauce is well blended.

3. Cook the Wings: Return the fried chicken wings to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the wings, making sure they are well coated. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the wings simmer slowly for 45 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors of the sauce and become tender.

4. Thicken the Sauce: After 45 minutes, remove the lid from the skillet. Increase the heat slightly to allow the sauce to reduce and thicken. Continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes, turning the wings occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated and the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the sauce has thickened and the wings are perfectly glazed, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the garlic chicken wings hot, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped green onions if desired. These wings are fantastic when paired with a side of fried rice and stir-fried vegetables.
