Sticky Chicken
Ingredients
8 pieces of chicken – thighs and drumsticks
2 tins of Coke
1/2 cup soy sauce
Place the chicken pieces in a heavy based pot. Pour the Coke and soy over the top, cover with a lid and cook for 30-40 minutes. Remove the lid and lower the heat. Cook the chicken slowly, turning the pieces every now and then. The sauce will reduce down to a stick consistency. Serve with Mashed potatoes and some greens.
If you want to add some salt, you are most welcome, but we do not. The soy provides enough salt to this dish.
