- Using a non-stick pan would be better.
- You can use less oil, the chicken wings already have a high natural fat content.
- You can adjust the amount of cola according to your taste. If the entire can of cola is too sweet, you can use only half a can and add a small amount of water.
- Cola can easily cause sticking to the pan, so when reducing the sauce, make sure to constantly stir with a spatula.
- Don't worry that the wings won't be cooked when reducing the sauce because they are partially cooked during the blanching process, and the searing process has already cooked them further.
