Instructions
Creating your Crockpot Cherry Cola Pulled Chicken is straightforward. Follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
2. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the cherry cola, barbecue sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
3. Pour the Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
4. Set the Crockpot: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
5. Check for Doneness: About 30 minutes before serving, check that the chicken is fully cooked; it should shred easily with forks.
6. Shred the Chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, mixing it with the sauce.
7. Serve: Allow the pulled chicken to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-10 minutes before serving.
This simple process leads to a delicious meal ready to impress anyone at your dining table.
