Chicken and coke wings
At work a week or so ago, I heard about a strange recipe.
Now, I’m an adventurous cook, willing to try anything once, but when I was told the ingredients for this one, my eyebrows shot up.
Have a go at this:
Heat oven to 180C or around 320F
Take one packet of French Onion soup mix and coat some chicken wings with it.
I used a freezer bag to do the shake and roll thing. Less mess, always a bonus.
Put the wings into a baking dish.
Into the dish, with the wings and soup, pour one can of coke.
Normal, diet, zero, which ever you prefer. I used zero cos we like it.
I shit you not my friends.
Chicken wings, French Onion soup and coke.
I made it tonight, and let me assure you, it will be a regular on our menu from here on in!
Fucking beautiful!
You can use as much or as little soup mix and coke to your taste.
I did 1.2kg of wings and used 2 packs and 2 cans.
The soup mixes with the coke and creates a sauce that is good enough to dip bread in and eat once the wings are gone, or even if they’re not gone.
Now I know Mark thought I’d lost the plot when I asked him to bring some coke from downstairs so I could do dinner.
I got one of those “Do you need take a pill and lay down sweetheart?” looks.
He ain’t looking at me strange any more however.
After dipping several pieces of bread in the sauce and inhaling quite a few wings, he’s decided we can maybe try a variation on the wings.
Use thighs, or maybe breasts, coat them in the soup mix, only pour in one can of coke, then have the lot with rice perhaps?
As I said, the soup mix and coke can be adjusted to your taste, and if you want, the sauce can be thickened with corn flour, and you could even throw some veggies in if it takes your fancy.
Take care not to let it dry out in the oven though, and if it looks like it may, simply add more coke! Whatever is left in the can, well, if you have some good bourbon or scotch, there’s no need to waste that either!
Have a drink while waiting for one of the most tasty meals you’ll eat, from a couple of ingredients I would never have though to use together.
In fact one of them would never have entered my head to use at all!
How about you?
What’s the strangest recipe you’ve ever made?

My best country-style rib dish:
Tin foil pan:
-Ribs
-Some glugs of Dr Pepper
-A bunch of BBQ sauce
Cook forever over low heat on grill
I love emoticons! (Which one did I repeat?)

I see a new summer favorite here! I am giving this a try next week, after I recover from this weekend garage sale thing D’Bear and I decided to do.
I wonder how someone came up with this. Did they just like, take three strange things, put them together, and say “what the heck. Let’s give it a go!”????

Just ask Pamela. She’ll never let me forget it.

chicken and coke? Are you sure? I mean really sure?
It sounds revolting at first but when you read it as a recipe it doesn’t seem so mental and your photo looks good… hm… are you sure???
