Dinner is done in 2 hours or less and easy to pair with a side of rice, caesar salad, mashed potatoes, coleslaw or sweet glazed carrots.

Recipe Tips & Variations

• Add more meat by wrapping bacon around the chicken.
• Want more flavor? Add different seasonings to your liking.
• Kick it up a notch and add some hot sauce to mix for some heat.

Can you Cook Cola Chicken in the Crock Pot?

Yes, you can most definitely in the slow cooker. Just throw all the ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-6 hours until chicken is done at 165 degrees internal temperature.

Can you use Diet Cola in Cola Chicken?

Yes, you can use diet cola in place of regular cola in this recipe. The taste may be slightly different with a more sweeter flavor because of the sweetener used in diet soda. You can also use Cherry Cola or Dr. Pepper if you want an even more sweeter/cherry flavor in your chicken.
