Ingredients:
* 1 whole roasting chicken (3-5 lbs)
* 1 can Coca-Cola
* 1/2 cup rum (any brand)
* 1/2 cup orange marmalade
* 4 cloves crushed & chopped garlic
* 1 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
* 1 tsp salt
* Juice of 1/2 fresh orange
* 1/2 of a fresh orange, sliced
* Bouquet of fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, basil, oregano)
* 1 tsp fresh ginger root
1 Tbsp olive oil
Method
Rinse chicken, both inside and out. Place herb bouquet inside chicken. Rub outside skin with olive oil and place in crock pot or slow cooker. Sprinkle chopped garlic and salt on top of chicken. Mix marmalade, orange juice, rum, teriyaki & ginger root until incorporated and then pour over chicken. Pour full can of Coke (the real thing) over the chicken, add sliced oranges on top & cover with glass lid. Allow to cook slowly until ingredients make a semi-thick sauce and chicken is tender to the touch.
Notes: This recipe will be tender and delicious after 6-8 hrs of slow cooking. If desired remove chicken whole or in pieces (it's so tender it may fall apart when removing). Once chicken is sliced or cut into pieces thicken remaining sauce in a skillet and pour over cut pieces.
Number of servings: 4-6
