MATT PRESTON'S SERIOUSLY STICKY COCA-COLA CHICKEN WINGS

INGREDIENTS 1 cup brown sugar 3 cups cola (I used Coca-Cola), plus extra if needed 4 cloves garlic, crushed 1 large onion, grated 2 lemons, juiced ¼ cup light soy sauce 1kg chicken wings (cut into wingette and drumettes) METHOD 1 Preheat oven to 150C. Combine all the ingredients, apart from the wings in a non-reactive roasting dish or baking pan. 2 Add the wing pieces and add extra cola until the wings are largely submerged. Roast for 3 ½ hours, turning every 45 minutes or so, or until the wings are very tender and the sauce is sticky. But watch them, because they can get too dark too quickly at the end, given the amount of sugar in the cooking liquid.; https://www.delicious.com.au/recipes/coca-cola-chicken-wings/ab2cd773-b0f7-4204-b561-31831ca249c9?current_section=recipes
