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!

DIRECTIONS

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.
