Coca-Cola chicken Recipe

American-Asian fusion · Main course · 40 min total

This Coca-Cola chicken is a sweet and tangy Asian-inspired dish where the soda tenderizes the meat and creates a glossy, caramelized sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6 thighs)
• 1 cup Coca-Cola (not diet)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
• Optional: sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together Coca-Cola, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, and ginger.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Pour the Coca-Cola mixture over the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, turning chicken halfway through.
4. Remove chicken to a plate. Increase heat to medium-high and bring sauce to a boil. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Return chicken to skillet, turning to coat with sauce. Serve over rice, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Tips

• For extra flavor, marinate chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
• Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Can be made with chicken breasts; reduce simmer time to 15 minutes.
