My mom made this for us back in the 70s and 80s and it was always a family favorite. I make it for my family now and then, too.

Thanks for reviews. I was wondering about diet coke & the chicken cooking time & temp.

My family really loved this. My husband doesn't like chicken all that much but this he liked.

This was delicious. I cooked 3 chicken breasts in Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce and a coke and some onion. Some had said it was too soupy. I took out the chicken, shredded it and took out the sauce. I returned the chicken to the crockpot and added sauce until it was the right consistency and it was fantastic.

I will definitely use this recipe again. To thicken the sauce, I added instant potatoes at the end of the cook time. I made with - 3 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts, an 18 oz. bottle Kroger Original Honey Barbecue Sauce, 1 small white onion (sauteed the onion in oil & drained before adding to the crock pot) and half of a 12 oz. can of coke. Since the breasts were very large, I cut them in half before adding to the crock pot. Cooked for 6 1/2 hours, the breasts were done and sauce was thin. I added 3 tbsp. of Hungry Jack Instant Potatoes to thicken the sauce to the consistency I wanted. Delicious!

I have done this before & it came out very good & tasty for me. I cooked it on low overnight. I have used whole chicken & also drumsticks. It always comes out tender for me. You really don't need much liquid though or your sauce will be thin so the coke could be cut down a little bit.

I'm going to do this right after I post this.....don't have coke or root beer or Dr.Pepper.....Pepsi will have to do. It's 23 miles to the nearest store.....sooo. Sounds good! Sides will be cornbread and rice. Rate later!!

Adding some sweet and spicy jalapeno rings to mine. Can't wait to try it.

I think I will try it using bourbon instead of coke. I am trying to find a recipe for Bourbon Chicken that a local restaurant had.

Really people asking if you could use Pepsi instead think before you comment. Any cola or as I used lemonade.

Just just put this in the crock-pot and cannot wait to try it!

I cooked a whole chicken with this recipe on low for 8 hours- delicious! I just poured more BBQ sauce on it before serving :)

Using cherry coke.. Great flavor and very easy..

Good stuff!
You could use any type chichen, but my family prefers breast. It may cost a bit more, but we like it. And I agree directions are pretty clear. Coke is a great addition, and choice of barbeque sauce is personal preference. I used Big Moe's, a NC favorite! Can serve whole pieces of chicken or shred for sandwiches, either is yummy!

I am trying this out now. The BBQ sauce I had on hand was Chipotle Key Lime BBQ flavored, so I switched out the coke for a small can of pineapple juice. I've done the same for a teriyaki style chicken and the sweetness of the pineapple juice is very good. If all goes well, I'll shred in about 7 hours to make pulled chicken sliders. Side of flavored rice and a veggie - yum!
