Ingredients
- Chicken (breast or thighs)
- Coca-Cola
- Soy sauce
- Garlic (minced)
- Onion (chopped)
- Ground ginger
- Vinegar (apple cider or rice)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine Coca-Cola, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger. Add chicken pieces and let marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Sauté aromatics: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add oil, and sauté chopped onions until translucent.
- Brown the chicken: Remove chicken from marinade and add to skillet, searing each side for 4-5 minutes.
- Add the marinade: Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20-30 minutes.
- Final touches: For a thicker glaze, remove the lid and increase heat to medium-high for the last few minutes.
- Serve: Once cooked through (internal temperature 165°F), let it rest for a few minutes and serve over rice or with vegetables.
Notes
Marinating is key for flavor and tenderness. Monitor the chicken’s internal temperature to avoid overcooking.
