Ingredients
- 8 chicken legs or thighs
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 cup Coca-Cola
- 1 ΒΌ cups chicken stock
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp sugar

- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large sauce pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Working in batches, brown the chicken on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes total, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- Transfer to a plate. Set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 2 minutes.
