ANOTHER COCA COLA CHICKEN RECIPE FOR YOU TODAY

Coca Cola Chicken:

• 1.5 – 2 lb. chicken drumsticks or thighs
• 1 can (12 oz.) Coca Cola
• 1/3 c. soy sauce
• 5 cloves garlic
• 2 inch piece of ginger
• 1/3 bunch cilantro

1.  Slice the ginger into several crosswise pieces.  Cut the cilantro in half (save the upper leaves for garnish, use the bottom stems and leaves to flavor the cooking liquid.)  Smash the garlic cloves with the back of a knife.

2.  Place the chicken, coke, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and bottom stems/leaves of cilantro into a large pot or dutch oven.

3.  Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

4.  Flip the chicken pieces, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes (or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and liquid is reduced to a thick sauce).  Watch the pot – if the liquid reduces too much, then add a little bit of water to prevent burning.

5.  Pour the thickened sauce over.  Then garnish with the reserved cilantro leaves.
