How to cook it

  1. Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat and brown the chicken wings on both sides, about 5 minutes total.

  2. Add the ginger and garlic and stir 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Pour in the cola and both soy sauces and bring to a boil.

  4. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 15 minutes, turning the wings once.

  5. Uncover and simmer 5 more minutes until the sauce reduces to a glossy glaze that coats the wings.

  6. Scatter with scallions and serve; this is one of the most-cooked kid dishes in the country.
