Slow Cooker Cola Chicken
Not a fan of coke or any soft drinks, but I will have to try this. Very easy recipe and can be adapted in many ways with the meat used. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
- 1 lemon, cut into quarters
- 1 onion, peeled and cut into quarters
- 1 bottle BBQ sauce, OR make from a shortcut listed on this site
- 1 can cola
Instructions
- Wash the chicken inside and out, remove giblets if present inside. If the chicken if from a local market, remove the neck and feet, trim excess fat at the gut opening, place chicken in the slow cooker breast side up.
- Toss in the onion and lemon quarters, pour in the entire bottle of BBQ sauce and the entire can of cola.
- Cover and cook on Low setting for 6-8 hours or High setting for 3-4 hours.
- Serve with boiled buttered potatoes and a salad for a meal.
Notes
A whole chicken will cost about 150 to 200 Baht. BBQ sauce if store bought will run about 90 Baht. For 6 people, this is about $1.50 per meal per person, very reasonable. Less for 8 people.
Shortcut: BBQ Sauce.

Also not a fan of fizzy drinks, but I have made something similar and it was very tasty. You would think that it is very sweet, but it actually isn’t at all 🙂
