Why are we using soda in a chicken recipe?

Here’s the thing, when you put soda in the Crockpot for a bunch of hours it creates a delicious glaze. The sugars have time to break down and caramelize and the end results are fabulous!

Sprite adds a nice sweet and tangy kick to the final flavor that I think you’ll love! The finished Sprite chicken recipe is tender, juicy, and flavorful. You can use this delicious chicken in wraps, on salads, serve it over noodles or rice, and more. The possibilities are endless.

What do I need to make this tasty chicken recipe?

To make my easy sprite chicken you will need just a few simple ingredients. A few of which I’m sure you already have on hand!

What size Crockpot should I use?

You can use anywhere from a medium sized crockpot to a large slow cooker. If you are doubling the recipe I’d definitely recommend a 5-6 quart slow cooker to make sure everything gets done properly.

This one works out fine in the casserole Crockpots as well if you have one of those! We’re not adding a ton of liquid or any bulky ingredients apart from the chicken so you don’t need quite as much depth for this recipe.

How to make Sprite chicken in the Crockpot:

In a measuring cup mix together the melted butter, Sprite, seasoned salt, parsley and garlic powder.

Place chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker (4 quart or larger)

Pour the liquid you mixed together over the chicken.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours or until the chicken is tender and has reached an internal temperature of 165˚.
