Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 6 chicken breasts boneless and skinless, fresh or previously frozen
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons onion flakes, minced
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• 1½ cups barbecue sauce, divided
• 12 ounces Coca-Cola, divided

Instructions

 

• Spread the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart crockpot.
• Sprinkle the pepper, minced onion flakes, and garlic salt over the chicken. Pour ½ cup of the barbecue sauce over the chicken.
• Pour 1 cup Coca-Cola into the slow cooker.
• Cover and set on a high setting for 4 hours or low for 6 to 7 hours.
• After the chicken has cooked for about 3 hours on high (or 5 hours on low), drain all liquid from the slow cooker, leaving the chicken in the pot. Add the remaining ½ cup of Coca-Cola and the remaining 1 cup of barbecue sauce to the slow cooker. Continue cooking for the remaining hour.
• Serve whole with sauce spooned over the top or shred chicken and mix with the excess sauce.

Notes

• Every slow cooker is slightly different. You may have to adjust the cooking times slightly depending on your particular model.
• There will be quite a bit of liquid in the slow cooker after the chicken has cooked through. Draining that liquid and then adding additional cola and extra BBQ sauce makes a nice, thick sauce for serving and also allows the chicken some extra time to cook to “shred” level.
• If you want shredded chicken, it is best to do it when it is still warm; make sure you do this right when it comes out of the slow cooker.
