Skim off the foam.
Remove and rinse with cold water.

Preheat a flat pan, add a little oil and spread evenly.
Add chicken wings to the pan and pan-fry on low heat.
Add appropriate amount of ginger strips.
Pan-fry until both sides are slightly golden brown.
Add 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce.
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce.
A little salt.
Stir-fry evenly to color.

- Making several cuts on the chicken wings helps them absorb more flavor.
- Adding ginger and cooking wine when boiling is to remove the fishy smell.
- Remember to drain the water from the boiled chicken wings, otherwise they will splatter oil when frying.
- If you don't like sweet and greasy food, you can use sugar-free cola, which will make the Coca-Cola chicken wings delicious without being greasy.
- When reducing the sauce at the end, stir frequently, otherwise it will easily burn.
