Stephanie says
Wondering if I can use diet coke instead of coke?
Heidi says
I haven’t tried it that way Stephanie… but if you do, let us know how it turns out!
mw says
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!!
Heidi says
So glad to hear everyone loved it!
Mia says
Can I use drumsticks instead of breasts? Thanks.
Heidi says
Hi Mia ~ Yes… this sauce tastes AMAZING on drumsticks, too!
Here’s more information on how to prepare the drumsticks:

Enjoy!
Lindsey says
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?
Sarah says
Do you put the chicken in frozen or thawed?
Heidi says
Hi Sarah ~ you’ll use thawed chicken to start the recipe. Enjoy!
Bobby says
Could u cook the chicken and bbq sauce with Coke all together for 3 hrs?
Heidi says
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!
holly says
I love all your recipes. They are so easy and very good. Everyone in my house eats it all up. No leftovers. Thanks!!!
Heidi says
Aww ~ you’re very welcome, Holly! I’m so glad to hear you’re all loving the recipes! 🙂
Cara says
Can I use chicken tenderloins?
Heidi says
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.
Charissa says
Can I use plain bbq sauce? Thats all I have on hand. And can I turn this into pulled bbq chicken? Thanks!
Heidi says
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! 😉
Kelsey says
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!
Kelsey
Heidi says
Hi Kelsey ~ nothing is required when cooking the chicken… it will end up cooking in its own juices. Hope that helps! 😉
Mary Hill says
Such cool recipes for the summer. I am trying these for sure. 🙂
Kimberly Worley says
This recipe was easy and delicious. My family enjoyed every bite. Thanks for the recipe. I will be trying more recipes. Thanks again.
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Kimberly… I’m so glad you liked it!! 😉
Claudette says
Quick question….why is it spicy? Is the heat from the cola-q BBQ sauce? Thanks!
Heidi says
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! 😉
Claudette says
Thank u! I got the sweet one! Gonna try it this weekend!
Kaitlyn says
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!
Kaitlyn says
Forgot to mention, I also threw a little salt, pepper and garlic powder on top of the chicken when I first put it in.
Heidi says
Aww ~ you’re very welcome, Kaitlyn! I’m so glad you liked it! 😉 And yes ~ nothing beats how simple the recipe is!
Tracy says
Can I put the chicken in the crockpot frozen for the cola recipe?
bianca says
No it can’t be frozen defrost it first or boil in water to defrost ….then put it in crock pot with out water ….it cooks in its own juices
layla says
wouldn’t frozen chicken have more “juice”. just curious, was looking to throw this in on my lunch break so it would be ready after work
TIA
Jana says
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?
Hanna says
This was amazing!!! I made it tonight and the family ate it up!!! I added about half a glass of water because mine was in the crockpot longer and I did not want it to dry out. I Will be making this again!
Heidi says
I’m so glad to hear your family enjoyed it, Hanna!!
Joanna says
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!
Heidi says
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! 😉
steve says
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?
Heidi says
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! 😉
