Slow Cooker Coke Chicken ~#1 On My List Of “Things I like to toss in the crock pot.”

Get ready to enjoy this Slow Cooker Coke Chicken but first…

I’m getting ready for Apple Week this weekend, preparing some last minute apple recipe tutorials and getting posts written up and queued for this and my other blog for al.com, so we’re having a bit of a slow weekend. I wanted to post my mother’s tutorial on Buttermilk Cornbread, but she isn’t home right now and I’m missing a few photographs I need.

So, in honor of our Slow Cooker Giveaway (Congrats again, Beverly!), I am going to post this recipe. I hesitate to call this a recipe as it really is so very easy that there doesn’t seem to be any real cooking involved. The outcome though, is wonderful.

This works with pork chops, boneless breasts, ribs, and even roast. I ask that you first try it with a fryer if at all possible, though. There is a magic that takes place when you cook a fryer like this that just doesn’t happen with other cuts of meat, even boneless skinless breasts. The fryer, after slow cooking all day in this amazing blend of flavors, becomes completely permeated with the flavor and literally falls off of the bone. Every shred of chicken, even the inside meat, is tinted the color of your sauce, proving that it has completely saturated the bird.

The flavor is so amazing! I like to serve this with stewed potatoes in butter sauce and a simple dinner roll. The chicken steals the show.

*Yes, you can make this with another carbonated beverage, it just needs to be carbonated and have sugar in it.

Honestly, I’m embarrassed to post this because it is so simple. You’ll need: A whole fryer, Coca Cola, BBQ Sauce, An Onion, And A Lemon. I Like Capitalizing Today!
Peel your onion and cut onion and lemon into quarters. That’s all, just make yourself four wedges and you’re done!
Put chicken little in the crock pot. Raise your hand if you’re happy they finally quit putting the neck and all that mess up inside the bird? ~Raises hand and WAVES it energetically~
Toss that lemon and onion onto Chicken Little.
Pour whole bottle of BBQ Sauce over it.
Pour whole can of Coke over it.
Put the lid on and cook on low all day long or high for 3 to 4 hours. This is great to put on in the morning before you go to work. Your house will smell phenomenal when you come home.
For the record, I spelled phenomenal correctly the first time with no help from spell check! Go me!
Chicken Little! All cooked up and ready for your plates!

  1. Yeah April! It is awesome and it smells so good, especially if you put a bit of cinnamon and raisins in it.

    You so need this crock pot!!! I am telling you, it will help bring about world peace if you own one!!!

    Don’t forget that I am going to get all of those submitted recipes together and post them in a downloadable book, too!

    Stephanie: I am like you, someone mentions cooking chicken in a crock pot and I’m in!!! LOL! I use my crock pot several times a week to make the meat for our supper and then just whip up some sides and we’re done!

    1. Where do you get this special crockpot and what is it called or who makes it? I am crying that there is a lonely little crockpot out there calling my name. I have 4 or 5 already but can always use another! Thanks!

      1. I have made this on the stove a hundred times but am so excited to do it in the crock pot! We always serve over mashed potatoes with peas.

  2. Ok, I’ll be a guinea pig and give the ginger ale a try and report back after said experiment.

    Crock pot oatmeal! Oh man.. I’m SO going to buy that thing tomorrow.

  3. Ooh, that does look good! I love making chicken in the crockpot – that falling-off-the-bone thing is my favorite part!

  4. You know, I actually can’t drink ginger ale so I have never even had it in my house! Its all because I’m weird 🙂

    It should work just fine, go for it!
    I think you DEFINITELY need to get the three in one tomorrow though, because having a slow cooker with three pots on hand versus one is an integral part to all of my crock pot recipes. ~wink wink~

    Really, the oatmeal thing is just super cool where you use the two pots as a water bath, that alone is neat enough for you to get it!

  5. So if I need carbonation and sugar…can I use a ginger ale? The only soda we ever have on hand is ginger ale is why I ask. I think this is reason enough to go tomorrow and buy the 3-in-1 slow cooker. *innocent look*

  6. Oh sure! you could do at least six or seven chicken breasts in there (boneless) with no problem. I would stir them up a bit halfway though so they don’t stick together.
