Orange Crush Chicken for the Crock Pot image

Similar to the 7-Up Pot Roast recipe we posted...This time it's chicken and orange soda...The idea came (in part) from a marinade recipe we had been using, but instead, dumped in the crock pot and left to slowly cook...Serve with steamed vegetables and roasted potatoes to complete your meal!

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lbs whole chickens (Perdue preferred)
1 (12 ounce) can orange soda (Orange Crush preferred)
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (Kikkoman preferred)
2 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Remove giblet/gizzard packet from the chicken and do whatever you want with it, you won't need it here.
  • Rinse and pat dry the chicken; place chicken in crock pot.
  • Sprinkle chicken with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Combine the orange soda (Orange Crush) with the soy sauce and pour over the chicken.
  • Toss in a couple bay leaves and set crock pot on low for 6 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the breast meat reads 170°F.
  • Potatoes, carrots, celery and onions may also be included as the chicken cooks (maybe half way through the cooking process?).
  • Remove chicken to serving dish (along with any vegetables you might cook with it), to cool/settle 5 minutes, before serving.
