Coca-Cola Chicken

This recipe was an inspired by a post on egullet.org I made it with a few modifications and turned out be a decent recipe.

Recipe:
2 lbs chicken - thighs and drumsticks
1 liter of CocaCola
1 onion medium size
4 cloves of garlic
1-2 inches of ginger
4 small green chillies

Start by reducing a liter of coke on medium heat to half in volume. Should take about 20-30 min. Now slice the onion lengthwise and chop the garlic, ginger and green chillies. Add a couple of tablespoons of oil and with the burner at medium high add the onions, garlic, ginger & chillies. After the onions are translucent add the chicken (I removed the skin from the thighs but left it on on the drumsticks). Brown the chicken for about 10 min and then add the reduced coke syrup along with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (The original recipe called for half cup of soy sauce which is a lot!!). Bring the liquid to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium and partially cover the vessel and wait for the liquid to reduce more for about 20min. Now would be good time to get some rice ready - Cook rice in the rice cooker :-). Taste the sauce and add some pepper, pinch of salt and some tobasco sauce. Serve hot and enjoy. Worth making again, I might try it to make some wings. I took some pictures of the leftovers and will post them soon.
