Ingredients
  

  • 1 12oz can of cola regular or diet
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 small onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs and/or drumsticks

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook just until browned on each side (about 5 minutes).
  • Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and cover. Simmer 15 minutes.
  • Remove lid, and simmer an additional 30-35 minutes, turning chicken occasionally until cooked through and has reached 180 degrees.
  • Serve with rice and steamed veggies.

Notes

Note: If you'd like a thicker sauce, once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and set aside. Make a slurry of 1/3 cup water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Bring sauce to a boil and while whisking, pour in a bit of the slurry at a time to reach desired consistency (you may not need all of it). Allow to boil 1 minute and toss with chicken.
