Notes
Expert Tip:
If you're using full-fat rather than diet varieties of coke (or other fizzy drinks), omit the light brown sugar from the recipe, as they already have sugar in them.
Variations:
Swap the chicken for pork chops, pork steaks or even a gammon joint.
Storage:
- Store - Place leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat - Place in a microwave-safe bowl or container and reheat until piping hot.
- Freeze - Allow the chicken and sauce to cool, place in a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge fully before reheating in the microwave.
