   Have you ever tried making this with chicken thighs, drumsticks or a whole chicken? Just wondering how it would work

   We have only used boneless chicken. Just makes it easier to shred after it's cooked.

   I made this yesterday with boneless skinless thighs, it was a little on the greased side. Next time I will use chicken breast. It was good and I could see where kids would love it, next time I'm going to throw in a few red pepper flakes.

   I'm sorry, but this did not taste good. It was too strong a flavour. And once I added the cornstarch, the chicken tasted chalky. The picture looks good and the ingredients were easy so I made it today... Very disappointed... Your site usually has great recipes.

   Is there a substitute for sprite? Was hoping to make this tomorrow and don't have any.

   You could use 7 up or any brand of lemon lime soda.

   I just started a new job not long ago and I love it!! My problem is that i now work only 4 days a week but they are 9 - 91/2 hour days. Is it ok to leave something on low in the crockpot that long? my husband says not, but what do you girls think?

    I recently started a new job that I am gone from home for 9 - 9 1/2 hours a day. For chicken and other recipes that are done on low for 6-8 hours, would it be ok to leave it for 10 hours (includes driving time) love that I found your site. everything looks so good.
11. Cyd says:

    Hi Sandy! You have a long day! It should be ok on low for about 10 hours. I would add a little more of the lemon lime soda so that it doesn't dry out. Just need to be sure you have enough liquid, but then you don't want it swimming. Best of luck with this.

    You can also get a crock pot with a timer. That might be something you could look into. :)

    I made this tonight and used boneless pork chops instead. Delicious! Thanks for always sharing amazing recipes.

    I made this recipe today to kick off my Spring Cleaning New Recipe Challenge on my blog. This is the first recipe that I've prepared in the Crock Pot that my husband has liked and said was okay to make again. I am also including the Monterey Chicken recipe that's posted on here, as well. Thank you for posting the first Crock Pot recipe that I've made that my husband has actually liked! http://fullhappybabyandmommy.wordpress.com/2014/03/22/the-spring-cleaning-new-recipe-challenge-crock-pot-honey-garlic-chicken/

    Didn't like this recipe at all.. It was way to sweet... Would not make this again...

    I made this tonight. The kids loved it. Hubby thought it was salty, but the only salt is in the soy sauce. It was sweet, but I liked it. I have added this to my recipe list. Oh, and I don't like to cook. Bake, yes. Cook, no.

    Can you use apple cider vinegar instead of white?
18. Cyd says:

    May 2, 2014

    You could but not sure how much that will alter the taste. We have only used white vinegar.

    I have made a couple of recipes from your site and this did not disappoint. It was delicious and a hit with my tots! Thanks!

    Hi, this is the second time I've tried this (or something similar). I've cooked it on low but after about 4 hours the chicken looks burnt on the outside and although still shreds, isn't shredding as well as some of the other chicken dishes I've tried. There's plenty of liquid but I just don't know what I'm doing wrong? Any ideas? Love your website, although I do wish it was converted for UK too!

    Nicola, some crockpots cook faster than others. You could try a little less time.

    I made this tonight and it was definitely good, but also very sweet- much sweeter than expected. Next time I might go for less brown sugar. I used chicken breast tenderloins and they fell apart so easily.

    Would I be able to use garlic powder instead of minced garlic?
25. Cyd says:

    July 21, 2014

    Sure, that will work just fine.

    I was hoping to make this tonight, is it ok to cook on high? Or will it burn?
27. Cyd says:

    September 3, 2014

    You can cook it on high, but it won't take nearly as long. Just watch it closely.
28. Sandy says:

    I made this for dinner tonight, it was very good. It was, however, too sweet for my personal taste and if make it again I will reduce the sugar.
29. Jennifer says:

    I'm sorry - this was terrible. Way too sweet and tangy. I should have known this was way too much brown sugar and honey and garlic. It was completely overwhelming. I spent hours trying to save it, and I got it to edible, but we threw out what was left over. I didn't trust the recipe, but there were so many positive comments that I went against my better judgment. Really need to cut back on those ingredients, probably in half.

    I have left the crock pot on for 2 days before (yes, on purpose) the key is to just make sure there is enough moisture to hold it throughout the days. So YES you can leave it on the crockpot for those hours...no need to buy a new crockpot ;) just gauge if you need to add more broth, .. Hope that helps. Making this right now for MY picky eaters..

    I just made this for dinner and HOLY COW, IT WAS SO DELICIOUS! We have leftover chicken and are going to put on buns and have sandwiches for dinner tomorrow night- I can't wait. It was seriously so good and so easy!

    My husband and I absolutely love this! We also added green bell peppers and mangos, we absolutely love the flavor! One of our favorite recipes!
33. Renee says:

    I totally agree! I was very disappointed!

    Do you think i Could I use a can of Fresca citrus soda to sub for lemon lime??
35. Cyd says:

    October 18, 2016

    I think that would work fine. :)
36. Geri says:

    I’ve made this several times and just love it. But my husband says it needs a little more of a kick. :) Any suggestions for making this a little on the spicy/sweet side?
