Categories     main-dish

Time 4h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
One 12-ounce can cola
6 cloves garlic, sliced
4 large peeled coins of fresh ginger, smashed
1 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup sake or dry sherry
4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon white vinegar
3 red Fresno peppers, seeds and stems removed, sliced into rings
3 red Fresno peppers, seeds and stems removed, sliced into rings
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken in a large resealable gallon-sized plastic bag and add half of the can of cola, 2 sliced garlic cloves, 2 smashed ginger coin and 1/2 cup soy sauce. Seal the bag, put it in a rimmed dish and marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator, flipping the bag periodically for even distribution of the marinade.
  • Make the glaze: Meanwhile, combine the sake with 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/3 cup water and the remaining 1/2 cup soy sauce, 4 sliced garlic cloves, and 2 smashed ginger coins in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes to develop flavor. Using a fork, stir the cornstarch in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce. Simmer the sauce for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and add 1 teaspoon vinegar. Cool to room temperature, then strain, discarding the solids. Set aside 1/4 cup for drizzling at the end.
  • Make the pickled peppers: Place the sliced peppers in a medium bowl. Bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then pour over the peppers. Let sit 10 minutes, then drain. Return the peppers to the same bowl. Add 1/4 cup vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining tablespoon of brown sugar, and stir to dissolve. Set aside.
  • Take the chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Remove from the marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. (Discard the marinade.)
  • Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
  • Lightly sprinkle the chicken all over with salt and pepper, and place its cavity over the cola can so that the chicken is sitting upright. Carefully put the chicken on the can on the indirect side of the grill, with the back facing the hotter side. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the breast (avoiding the bone) reads 140 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes. Baste the chicken all over with the glaze and cover for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken so that the breast is facing the hotter side. Baste a second time, and cover again until the thermometer reads at least 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the thigh, about 25 minutes more. Carefully remove from the grill and let rest 20 minutes before carving. Drizzle with some of the glaze and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve the pickled peppers on the side.

Tips for Making the Best Soy Sauce Chicken with Cola:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken that is about 2 to 3 pounds in weight. A smaller chicken will cook faster, while a larger chicken will take longer.
  • Prepare the chicken properly: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry. Remove any excess fat from the chicken, including the skin. This will help the chicken cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it is important to use a good quality soy sauce. Look for a soy sauce that is dark and flavorful. Not all cola are made the same. Try using a high quality cola like Coca-Cola or Pepsi.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked until it is just cooked through. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.

Conclusion:

Soy sauce chicken with cola is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, give soy sauce chicken with cola a try. You won't be disappointed.
