Crock Pot Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

Alright ladies sorry this is late, life ya know. So I have not done this recipe before but saw it on a blog I frequent and I'm always up for a good crock pot recipe. I'm going to put the info to the site that has the recipe as well. The original recipe calls for using a whole chicken and cooking for 8 hours but many of the reviewers changed it to boneless skinless breasts and about 4 hours. Lots of reviewers did all sorts of different variations so really any chicken in any form could work for this.
Here we go.

Crock Pot Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

  • 1 large chicken, cut into serving pieces (or 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Sprite or 7-Up soda
  • 2-3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon pepper (regular black or cayenne)

  1. Place chicken in crock pot.
  2. Mix all remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.
  3. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. (4-5 hours for boneless skinless)
  4. Serve over rice or noodles.
  5. You can thicken the juices after cooking with a little cornstarch.
I plan on serving over brown rice with veggies on side....likely carrots and broccoli as those are the girls' favorites.

Hope this is good!
