Something new to try - Crockpot BBQ Chicken recipe with lemon and RC Cola!
It might sound strange, but this is a tried and true family favorite. Of course, you can use Coke or Pepsi, just make sure it's a cola and not a lighter colored soft drink.
The Cola combines with a tangy barbecue sauce and onions in a slow cooker that will make you feel ready for the Food Network!
1 whole chicken, 3 to 4 pounds
1 bottle (18 ounces) barbecue sauce
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 medium lemons, thinly sliced and seeded
1 cup of RC Cola
Cut the chicken into serving size pieces - you could also purchase a chicken already cut up. Put the pieces in a crockpot.
Whisk together the barbecue sauce and the RC Cola. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the crockpot. Add the onions and the lemons. Cover the crockpot and cook, on low, for 8 to 10 hours, until the chicken is tender and falling off the bones. Remove the cooked lemons before serving.
Serves 4 to 6
Food For Thought - Save a few calories by removing the skin from the chicken. This is easily done when you use a pre-cut chicken.
Good To Know - This sauce is great served over white rice or mashed potatoes. Add a salad or cole slaw for a full and satisfying meal of Crockpot BBQ Chicken.
