WHISKEY COLA CHICKEN WITH BEETS AND SWEETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Boil the beets in salted water until softened, approximately 20 minutes. Using a rag and gloves, peel your beets. Cut into 1-inch wedges and set aside.
• Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch wedges. Place in a roasting pan with approximately 1/2 inch water. Top with margarine, cover pan with foil and bake until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Next, trim all fat off chicken thighs and discard. Set chicken aside. Whisk together honey, cola, whiskey, mustard, sriracha, ginger powder, 2 tablespoons blended oil and 1 teaspoon chopped garlic in a medium bowl. Set aside half the sauce for later, then add the chicken thighs to the remaining sauce. Mix until the chicken is fully coated, then place on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake until sauce and chicken start to darken and the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to a saute pan set on medium-high. Once oil is hot, add diced onion and remaining teaspoon chopped garlic and cook until the onions and garlic turn translucent, then add sweet potatoes. Saute until the outsides of the sweet potatoes crisp up, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Toss beets and kale together in a mixing bowl. Add sweet potato mixture directly from the saute pan while hot. Mix all together, then add cilantro, parsley, rosemary and pepper and move to a sheet pan. Place in the oven to heat and crisp kale, approximately 5 minutes. Remove and plate with chicken. Top chicken with reserved sauce and serve.

SOY-GARLIC GLAZED COLA CAN CHICKEN

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.

COLA CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add chicken; brown on all sides. Carefully add cola, ketchup, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the chicken reads 170°. Remove the chicken and keep warm. , Combine the cornstarch and cold water until smooth; gradually add to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Return chicken to pan; heat through.

CHICKEN WITH COCA-COLA AND LEMONS

Steps:

• In a large, rimmed dish, sprinkle the lemon juice over both sides of the chicken. Rub with the salt and pepper, then the lemon zest. Cover and chill for 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the chicken, skin side up, in a roasting pan. Reserve the lemon juice, diluting it with 1 tablespoon water. Cover the chicken with foil and roast for 30 minutes, basting it with the lemon juice every 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cover the bottom of a medium sauté pan with a thin film of olive oil. Place over medium heat and add the onion and ginger. Cook until the onions are soft and golden, about 8 minutes, then stir in the garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
• After the chicken has cooked for 30 minutes, lower the heat to 300 degrees and remove the foil. Begin basting every 10 minutes with the Coca-Cola, until the chicken juices run clear, about 1 hour more. Reheat the onions, adding the vinegars and 2 tablespoons of the chicken juices. Cook for 1 minute. Serve the chicken topped with the onions and pan drippings.

CHICKEN IN COCA-COLA

Steps:

• Melt the butter/margarine in the pot at medium heat.
• Add the garlic.
• Once the garlic is browning, add your chicken pieces.
• When chicken is lightly browned on both sides, add the onions diced.
• Once onions are almost fully cooked, add the oxtail soup.
• Stir lightly to spread the oxtail over the chicken pieces, then add half the can of coke and continue stirring at medium heat.
• Boil your potatoes and carrots (seperately) in the meantime. I prefer to do them in the microwave which is fairly quick.
• When the sauce has begun to thicken, add the potatoes and carrots cut into bite sizes.
• Simmer at low-medium heat.
• Add the bay leaf.
• Taste it, if it's too sour still, add a bit more coke.
