    Delicious and so easy!. Will definitely be making again. Family loved it. Loved that it wasn’t a soupy boiled mess once it was all done. Next time will shred the chicken so every little bite is completely covered with the yummy sauce! So good!!

    I have three boneless skinless chicken breasts in my freezer that I have defrosted, but I see the recipe calls for 4. How would I adjust the amount of bbq sauce and cola/ cook time?

      March 29, 2016 at 8:49 am

      Hi Bobby ~ you could, but you’ll end up with a much milder more diluted sauce. I like to add it at the end so you have a thicker more flavorful sauce. Hope that helps!

      Hi Cara ~ yes… tenderloins will work, too! You may need to shorten the time a bit due to the smaller piece sizes, so just keep an eye on it.

      Hi Charissa… absolutely! Plain BBQ Sauce works just fine, and shredding with 2 forks after it’s cooked is a delicious way to serve. ENJOY! 😉

    Hi! I’m excited to make this chicken but I was wondering if you begin cooking the chicken in the croc-pot, what sauce do you use? Just water or..?

    Thanks!

      Hi Claudette ~ yes… that particular sauce has some spicy kick to it. If you prefer it less spicy, simply substitute a different sauce. Hope that helps! 😉

    I was skeptical about cooking the chicken by itself, but it came out awesome! I didn’t realize cooking chicken could be so easy! Ha. It was perfect at 3 hours. I took the chicken out, shredded it, and drained the juices. I put the shredded chicken back in, threw some K.C. Masterpiece BBQ sauce instead of Sweet Baby Ray’s because that is what I had, and probably a little more Coke than I should have, but the result is amazing and incredibly easy! I’m serving it with rice cooked in chicken broth then sauteed in garlic. Now I just have to wait for my boyfriend to get home! Thank you for sharing this ridiculously easy and delicious recipe!

      Forgot to mention, I also threw a little salt, pepper and garlic powder on top of the chicken when I first put it in.

    Do you prefer this over rootbeer recipe? Or does it just depend on if you like coke or root beer better? And should I drain the juices if I plan on shredding the chicken at the end to make into sandwiches?

    Do you have to drain the juices 3 hours in? I plan to put it all together before I leave for work and have it ready when we all get home 8 hours later… Help!

      October 16, 2013 at 8:44 pm

      Hi Joanna ~ if you’d rather, you can cook it on ‘Low’ for twice as long without draining the juices. I like to drain the juices to keep the sauce nice and thick, but adding all ingredients at the beginning would work as well… you’ll just end up with a thinner sauce. Hope that helps! 😉

    do you add water or anything to the crock pot or just lay the chicken in the bottom and turn it on? does the juice from the chicken provide enough moisture?

    Reply
    • Heidi says

      September 9, 2013 at 4:48 pm

      Hi Steve ~ no need to add water or anything other than the chicken at the beginning. The chicken will end up cooking in its own juices. Hope that helps! 😉
