Crock Pot Brown Sugar Chicken

I found this recipe here and tried it out last Tuesday. Tuesday has become my crockpot day because I have class that night so dinner is done before I have to leave.
-12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or 6 boneless, skinless breast halves
--1 cup brown sugar (it's okay. you can brush your teeth after.)
--1/4 cup lemon-lime soda (stay with me...)
--2/3 cup vinegar
--3 cloves smashed and chopped garlic
--2 T soy sauce
--1 tsp ground black pepper

The Directions.

Use a 5-6 quart crock pot for this recipe.

Plop the chicken into your crock pot. Cover with the brown sugar, pepper, chopped garlic, and soy sauce. Add the vinegar, and pour in the soda. It will bubble!

Cover and cook on low for 6-9 hours, or on high for 4-5. The chicken is done when it is cooked through and has reached desired consistency. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will be.

Serve over a bowl of white rice with a ladle full of the broth.

Verdict: This chicken was SO tender. It had a really good flavor. I was expecting super sweet like candied yams and it wasn't that sweet so I was very pleasantly surprised. It made great leftovers.
