The chicken was a bit dry, but the glaze was tasty.

This recipe is a keeper! It's easy to make and always turns out delicious. I love the way the cola tenderizes the chicken and gives it a slightly smoky flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of cola-based dishes, but this one was surprisingly good! The chicken was well-seasoned and the glaze was flavorful without being too sweet.

This recipe was a hit at my last BBQ! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the cola glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.
