    • Hi Amy ~ I have tried it both ways, and they are both delicious. It’s really just a personal preference. The Honey BBQ does add a nice touch of sweetness, but the original tastes great, too!

  3. I just tried this recipe last night for dinner and I must say I didn’t think it would taste as amazing as it did! My husband and room mates were skeptical at first as well, but they loved it saying how great it was! Thank you very much Heidi for this yummy and simple meal!!

  5. Hello, I am going to try this today … can I use ” Perdue “split chicken breast with ribs” .. it is 2.7 lbs. if so how long in the crock pot ? It is already defrosted. Thanks in advance!

    Reply

  6. Hi. When you cook the chicken for the first 3 hours, should I add water or just put the chicken in alone?

    Thanks! This recipe sounds delicious!

    Reply

  8. Will the combination of the Root Beer and Sweet Ray’s make this a real sweet sauce? My grandson loves Root Beer /BQ sauce but, he doesn’t like it sweet. Any ideas? Love your recipes !

    Reply

  9. If I were to cook this on low, how long would I cook it for. I’m wanting to start it in the morning, and finish it up when I get home?

    Reply

    • Hi James ~ 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! 😉

  10. i want to use chicken breasts and turn on before work and leave on low for the day. When would you suggest adding the rootbeer? When I get home and leave while cooking rice and veggies?

    Reply

  12. I made this today. It was a huge hit with my husband and 2 teenage boys. I used 8 chicken breasts and put them in the crock pot frozen when I left for work. My son turned on the crock pot at noon and they were perfectly done when I got home at 6. I I baked some potatoes while the sauce was warming through the chicken. What a fabulous and easy meal!

    Reply

    • I’m so glad your family liked it, Joanne! My hubby and 2 boys are big fans of this recipe as well… and I love how EASY it is! 😉

      Reply

  14. Made it last night with chicken drumsticks, I only had 6 if them, so I took 3/4 the sauce and poured it over the chicken for 4.5 hours on high, then drained it and poured the remaining sauce over it and cooked it for the final 30 min….DELISH! And bonus, my kids think I’m the coolest mom because I cooked with Root Beer. 🙂

    Reply

  15. Have you ever shredded the chicken, then added the sauce? I was thinking about making sandwiches with the shredded meat. What do you think?

    Reply

    • Hi Jessica ~ I’m sure that would taste great! And yes… I do sometimes shred the chicken, too. 😉

      Reply

  16. Hmm… How do you ‘cook’ the chicken for the first 3 hours??? Just stick the chicken in the crockpot, cover and turn to high for 3 hours?

    Reply

    • Hi Jaycee… yes ~ you can try doubling the amount of cooking time, and cooking on the ‘Low’ setting on your crockpot. Hope that helps! 😉

      ~ Heidi
