Ashley says
Could skinless drumsticks be used in this?
Heidi says
I’ve never tried skinless drumsticks. If you do try, please let me know how they worked for you.
Thanks, Heidi
Justin Q says
Would you need to change any cooking times or amount of BBQ/soda if you added some sausage to this?
Charlene says
Will diet coke work instead of the coke?
Wendi says
Can i mix drumsticks and breasts or do breasts need longer cooking time?
rose says
What kind of seasonings do u put in it
Victoria says
Hi. If I cook the chicken on low instead of high, should I double the time? Thanks
Heidi says
Hi Victoria ~ yes… a good rule of thumb is to double the time when cooking on LOW. Every Crock Pot cooks slightly differently, so just keep an eye on it near the end. ENJOY! 🙂
Jennifer says
When you put them in for an addt’l 30 with the sauce is that on low or high? If I needed about another 2 hours (as we would be at soccer) should I just put them on low with the sauce?
Heidi says
Hi Jennifer ~ when you add the sauce for the extra 30 minutes at the end, that would be on HIGH. If you’d rather change it to LOW at that point, you could go about 1 hour. Hope that helps! 🙂
Christina says
Do I cook them on high or low for 3 hours?
Heidi says
Hi Christina ~ you’ll cook on HIGH. Enjoy!! 🙂

Sylvia says
Do you mix the sauce and root beer with the chicken juices?
Heidi says
Hi Sylvia ~ no… after discarding the chicken juices, then you’ll pour the sauce/root beer mixture over the chicken and cook for 30 minutes more. That will ensure a thick, delicious sauce. Hope that helps! 😉
audrey wilson says
Does it work (taste) the same using chicken breasts?
Heidi says
Hi Audrey… YES ~ it’s delicious on chicken breasts, too! Here is a link to the instructions for cooking with chicken breasts:

Teri Driscoll says
For the root beer drumsticks-when you initially cook the drumsticks do you put them in the crockpot without any water or broth?
Heidi says
Hi Teri ~ correct… no water or broth is required. The chicken will end up cooking in its own juices. Hope that helps! 😉
