I love making stuff in the crockpot.  It’s so easy to throw everything in there and then forget about it.  I’m really not the type of cook that wants to make a fuss.  I saw this recipe and really wanted to try it because it involved coke in the ingredients.  I rushed out to the store and bought all the ingredients, came home and started preparations to cook the chicken.  The only thing I didn’t factor in is that I have a really small crockpot.  I couldn’t get the chicken to fit in, so I had to have Mike cut off the legs and wings to make it fit.  Then, since the chicken took up all the room, the other ingredients didn’t really fit either and it ended up overflowing.  After I got the majority of the ingredients finally in the crockpot, I turned it on and left it for a couple hours.  I’m not sure what possessed me to go look at the progress, since that is a little more work than I was planning to do, but when I checked I noticed that the crockpot wasn’t even working!!! OMG!! It was all just sitting there marinading I guess.  I moved the crockpot to another plug and changed the setting to high and it miraculously started working, so it all worked out in the end!

Ingredients:
Onions
Lemon
BBQ Sauce
Coke
Whole chicken – (or one with no legs or wings works too!)

Cut up the lemons and onions

Put the lemons, onions and chicken in the crockpot

Add BBQ sauce and coke

Cook until the chicken is ready.  Probably about 4 – 6 hours.

This looks pretty pitiful, but it’s really tasty!

Mike said he made the best bbq sauce ever by using all the stuff the chicken was cooking in and adding a bunch of other stuff, but I have no idea what he added.
