I discovered Coca-Cola chicken wings thanks to a young Chinese guest who stayed in my B&B. I used to exchange culinary ideas with my guests. That day, I still remember, after cooking her a dish from Nice, I asked her to cook me a simple typical Chinese dish that she often ate the next day. It was “chicken wings with Coke”. I’d never heard of it, so it was intriguing. I accepted his proposal and we enjoyed ourselves. A turkey is simple and effective; you just want to eat the bones…
