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.

I love really simple crock pot recipes! I will definitely be trying this out next week! Thanks for sharing!
One of the first things I learned to cook, over 30 years ago (ouch). But with an electric skillet. Always turned out awesome. I’m gong to try this for sure!
Time flies doesn’t it Debbie?! I hope you enjoy the recipe!!!
What size crock pot do you recommend, so that the chicken won’t dry out. I have a 10qrt would you recommend me adding more coke and BBQ
Surprising to think of sometnhig like that
I’ve never seen anyone use a can of pop for cooking, but it looks intriguing and I think I might just have to try this recipe pretty soon here.
I hope you like it Sara!!
Sara,
You can also use a can of soda instead of eggs and oil when using a boxed cake mix. Cook for the same amount of time as you would normally.
Chocolate + Cola or Cherry Cola
Yellow/White + Lemon-Lime
ect….. possiblities are endless.
Just throwing out another thing you can use a can of soda for.
I always put a can of soda over my hams. People always tell me I make the best ham. That is the secret!! YUM
i put my onion and lemon in crockpot first. then i stir my barbeque sauce and i can of coke together. then pour over chicken.but i cant remember how long to cook on low. please email me splicity@aol.com on how long to cook on low. thank you.
I just put this on. So easy I feel like I am forgetting something. I am making it with pork chops and plan on getting a fryer and doing it again next week. So easy and cheaper than going out.
