Notes

Because cola has a lot of sugar, please pay attention to the reduced volume of broth as the cola broth begins to thicken. You do not want to burn the sugars to your wok.

The skin of the blanched chicken wings will be sticky. Add more oil if needed to keep the skin from sticking to your wok.
