Easy Slow Cooker Coca Cola Chicken with Barbecue Sauce
I recently posted a recipe for Crockpot Coca Cola Pork Chops and it’s been very popular so I decided to make a Crockpot chicken with Coca Cola. It’s so incredibly easy with virtually no hands on prep time or work involved. Your slow cooker really does do all the work! Along with the barbecue sauce, the Coke tenderizes the chicken as it slow cooks. Must be those bubbles and carbonation! During the slow cooking process, the liquid volume of the barbecue sauce and Coke evaporates, and you’re left with a thick, rich sauce that’s sweet yet savory like a sweet barbecue sauce. And for those who are wondering: no, this juicy chicken does not taste just like Coca Cola. What you’ve got here is chicken that’s so juicy and tender and smothered in a rich sauce with lots of layers of flavor. You can’t really pinpoint the cola, or at least we can’t because there’s also bbq sauce, garlic, and minced onions.
