Title: Spicy Coke Chicken
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 cup cola (regular, not diet)
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– 2 tbsp ketchup
– 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
– 2 tbsp brown sugar
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
– 2 green onions, thinly sliced
– 1 tsp cornstarch
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cooked white rice, for serving
– Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the cola, soy sauce, ketchup, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
4. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the chicken and sauce mixture, stirring continuously until the sauce has reached your desired consistency.
5. Serve the Spicy Coke Chicken over a bed of cooked white rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
