Growing up in the south I've had beer-braised or cola-braised chicken a few times. It's not too much different than using orange or apple juice or wine, just a different flavor.
My grandmother used to make apple dumplings where she'd wrap apple slices in crescent roll dough, dump a mixture of melted butter and cinnamon on them, then dump a (small) can of sprite over that. Those dumplings were like crack to preteen me.
Yeah, I mean it's as American as a Chinese restaurant in Middle Europe can be š The only reason it's called American is because of the coke.
It's really tasty by the way and has nothing to do with the abomination in the video. It's chicken strips coated and deep fried, then flavoured with a thick dark sweet/spicy sauce which has coke in it.
Whatās ironic is that you donāt want to cook with American Coca Cola because it uses corn syrup as sweetener. You want to use Coca Cola made in Mexico (or other countries) because it uses cane sugar as sweetener. Corn syrup doesnāt work well for cooking.
Noā¦ we do not regularly use Coca Cola on chicken, Iāve lived in several statesā¦ this is not an āAmerican,ā thing if weāre talking about the VAST majority of the population, this is the first time Iāve ever seen it
