The Headnote

Cola chicken wings have circulated in Chinese home kitchens for decades, the cola reducing into a lacquered glaze that reads more savory than sweet. 點 Cook Guide starts the wings in cold water rather than hot, a step the recipe frames explicitly as removing 冷藏味, the residual refrigerator odor that blanching in already-boiling water would seal in rather than purge. After a 20-minute braise in cola, soy sauce, and dark soy sauce, the braising liquid is reduced separately, then poured back over the wings to finish.
