How to Make Coca-Cola BBQ Chicken Casserole:

Rinse chicken breasts; pat dry.

Combine flour and salt.

Coat chicken with flour and salt mixture. I find it easiest to add to a quart-sized Ziploc bag and put the chicken in one piece at a time, seal, and shake. Then repeat.

Brown pieces on all sides in hot oil, then place pieces in a 3-quart casserole.

Combine remaining ingredients, mixing well.

Spoon sauce over chicken, covering all pieces.

Cover the casserole, and bake at 350 degrees F for about 1-1/4 hours, or until chicken is fork tender and at a temperature of at least 165 degrees.

Do I have to Use Coca Cola?

If you prefer to use Diet Coke, it works. Any cola soda will work–though it will alter the flavor slightly.
