Notes
- Chicken breasts can be used instead of thighs; cooking times will vary; just be sure the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Crockpot cooking: season the chicken with salt and pepper and place it in the bottom of a slow cooker. Mix the onion, coca-cola, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
- To thicken the sauce, remove ¼ cup of the sauce and whisk two teaspoons of cornstarch into it. Pour the mixture into the pan with the chicken and stir to incorporate. Cook until it thickens.
