Coca-Cola BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich Recipe

I love to host gatherings for my friends and family both small and large!  Making “food memories” is something that I’ve always enjoyed because isn’t it wonderful to share a meal, chat, and connect with the ones we love around the table! Food Memories have such strong bonds as you all know. . .  I’m whisked away to my childhood with every bite of my Gram’s Clam Chowder or her Banana Bread ! 

We are using our Slow Cooker for this recipe so here are some Tips & Tricks:

•  They can be the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and pathogens.

• Preheat your crock pot just like you preheat your oven.  Plug it in and turn it to the High setting to get it nice and hot for cooking. 

• Add everything into the crock pot as warmed up as it can be, to cut down on the getting-the-food-hot portion of cooking, this is where you need to be cautious and make sure it is all hot and up to cooking temperature in 2-3 hours.  If food stays between 41 degrees and 135 degrees for 4 hours, then it has to be thrown out because the bacteria and pathogens have had much too much time to grow and a foodborne illness is a likely result.

• If you add meat make sure it is thawed and NEVER frozen, if it’s beef or pork brown it first.  

• Add liquids hot ie: like use HOT water or warm up any liquids in the microwave first then add them in already hot.
