From "The Southern Slow Cooker Bible" by Tammy Algood



List of Ingredients



• ½ cup cola
  
• â…“ cup ketchup
  
• ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar

Instructions



1. Lightly grease a large slow cooker.
   
   
2. In a medium bowl whisk together the cola, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and bourbon. Pour in the slow cooker. Place the chicken on top of the liquid in as much of a single layer as possible, turning to coat with the liquid mixture.
   
   
3. In a small bowl combine the onion salt, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 7 ½ hours or on high for 4 ½ to 5 hours. Transfer the chicken pieces to a deep serving platter and skim off the fat from the pan juices. Pour the leftover juices over the chicken pieces and serve warm.
