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 made this “Chicken Coke” recipe this afternoon. It is still cooking in the slow cooker. I think my husband is jealous because he is the cook in the house, and it’s smelling so darn good. Thanks for such a great recipe. It’s burning up hot in Houston, Texas. This gave me something to do instead of sit around and be bored. Again, thanks so very much for sharing.
How do you serve this?? On the bone or shredded or what?? Sounds good.
P.S. Can you plse email response as I will never find this page again I’m afraid.
Do you think that you could throw in some little potatoes and baby carrots?
I am planning to cook this one day this week. Suggestions for sides to serve with this chicken would be appreciated.
Tried the coke chicken recipe yesterday and it is fantastic – my hubby can’t get enough. I had a pack of chicken breasts I wanted to use and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing this keeper.
I am so glad to hear it was a hit Cris!!!
