Coca cola chicken wings / Ribs

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 3 slices ginger
• 1 can of cola 
• 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 1 piece of dried orange peel (optional), star anise
• 1 small cinnamon stick (optional)
• Salt, to taste

Wash and clean the chicken wings. Cut the wings at the joint, and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.

Pre-heat the wok until it starts to smoke. Add the oil, and spread it around to coat the bottom of the wok. Now add the ginger and the chicken wings. Spread out the wing pieces in a single layer, and lightly brown them for a few minutes on each side. The wok should be over high heat.   Add the Shaoxing wing, let it cook out, 

Now add the cola…

And the  dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and (if using), the orange peel and cinnamon stick and star anise.

Bring it to a boil, cover the lid, and turn down the heat to medium.

** if doing ribs, using oven at 500 degrees, roast off ribs covered in salt and pepper (+/- five spice powder), then using saute option in instant pot, cook ginger and garlic, then add shaoxing wing and cook off, then cola and rest of seasonings, then add the ribs and cook on high pressure for 30 mins.
