Day 26/30: COCA COLA CHICKEN is a classic fusion dish from the 80s and 90s featuring chicken thighs simmered in a sweet and savory glaze made with Coca-Cola, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, garnished with white sesame.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat, add a little oil, and sear the chicken until golden on the outside. Pour in Coca-Cola, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, and a star anise if using. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken in a glossy glaze. Sprinkle with white sesame seeds and serve hot with rice.
