CHERRY COLA CHICKEN

I was playing around with different marinades and this seemed to go over well. This recipe can be baked in the oven if you don't want to brave the winter chill at the grill.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups hickory smoke flavored barbeque sauce
1 (2 liter) bottle cherry cola
1 cup grape jelly
1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into 6 pieces

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, large enough to hold your chicken, combine the barbeque sauce, 1 liter of cola and grape jelly. Add the chicken and pour in more cola if needed to cover it. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat for 1 hour, adding more cola as needed to keep the chicken covered.
  • Preheat a grill for medium heat. Remove the chicken from the sauce, and place on the grill.
  • Cook, turning frequently for about 20 minutes, just until the skin is crispy. Heat the leftover sauce over high heat and boil for about 10 minutes to serve alongside the chicken.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray, for the cake pan
One 15.25-ounce box devil's food cake mix, such as Duncan Hines
One 3.9-ounce package instant chocolate pudding mix
4 large egg whites
3/4 cup cherry cola, such as Cherry Coke ®
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cups finely chopped maraschino cherries
5 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
6 sticks (1 1/2 pounds) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons maraschino cherry liquid plus 1 cup finely chopped maraschino cherries
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups whole maraschino cherries with stems

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray, then line with parchment and spray the parchment.
  • Combine the cake mix and pudding mix in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed to blend. With the mixer still running, add the egg whites, cherry cola and vegetable oil and mix until combined. Raise the speed to medium and mix until increased in volume, lighter in color and smooth, about 5 minutes. Fold in the maraschino cherries. Divide the batter between the prepared baking pans; smooth into even layers using an offset spatula.
  • Bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool in the pans, about 10 minutes, then turn out onto racks and let cool completely, about 1 hour.??
  • For the frosting: Mix the confectioners' sugar, butter and salt together in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on low speed until well blended, then increase the speed to high and whip until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the maraschino cherry liquid and continue to whip until bright pink and spreadable. Add the chopped cherries and mix on low speed until evenly distributed.
  • Using a serrated knife and sawing in long, even strokes, carefully halve the cake layers horizontally. Place 1 layer, cut-side up, on a platter or cake stand; spread 1 1/2 cups frosting on top. Stack another cake layer on top and spread another 1 1/2 cups frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining 2 cake layers, then cover the top and sides with a thin layer of frosting (this is the crumb coat) and use a bench scraper or large offset spatula to smooth out the sides and top (it's okay if some cake shows through). Refrigerate 15 minutes, then add another 1/2-inch layer of frosting to the top of the cake and smooth out to make a perfectly flat top. Refrigerate until ready to cover with ganache.
  • For the ganache: Meanwhile, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until beginning to boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let sit, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is completely smooth and the chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes, then pour over the chilled cake so that the top is completely coated and chocolate drips decoratively down the sides. Let set at room temperature 30 minutes, then top with the whole cherries in the center of the cake and serve.

CHERRY COLA BARBECUE SAUCE



Cherry Cola Barbecue Sauce image

Provided by Rick Rodgers

Categories     Sauce     Onion     Tomato     Fourth of July     Quick & Easy     Backyard BBQ     Vinegar     Cherry     Jam or Jelly     Simmer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 12-ounce bottles (ketchup-style) chili sauce
1 12- to 13-ounce jar cherry preserves or jam
1 cup cherry cola (regular, not diet)
1/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon (or more) hot pepper sauce

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions; sauté until golden, about 7 minutes. Add garlic and stir 1 minute. Stir in chili sauce, preserves, cherry cola, brown sugar, and vinegar; bring to simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered until reduced to 4 cups, stirring often to prevent scorching, about 50 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and more hot pepper sauce, if desired. Transfer to bowl and cool completely. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cherries, chicken, and spices will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality cola: A good quality cola will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for a cola that is made with real sugar and has a strong flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: Spices are what give this dish its unique flavor. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of garlic, onion, and chili powder.
  • Serve immediately: Cherry Coke Chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be crispy and the sauce will be hot and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cherry Coke Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, give Cherry Coke Chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
