"This is a dish so decadent and addictive, it is banned in my household other than on Grand Final Day." – Matt Preston

1 cup (250g) brown sugar
3 cups (750ml) cola (we used Coca-Cola), plus extra, if needed
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 large onion, grated
Juice of 2 lemons
¼ cup (60ml) light soy sauce
1kg chicken wings (cut into wingettes and drumettes)

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 150°C/130°C fan-forced. Combine all the ingredients, except 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 hours 30 minutes, 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.
3.

Serve with plenty of napkins.
