I had some left over Dr Pepper (???) and had to put it to good use. Remember, given enough Dr. Pepper I could rule the world…..so I made the easiest main dish ever- a chicken recipe- and my family loved it. They’ve been asking for Dr. Pepper Chicken ever since. I’ve tried different variations of Dr. Pepper Chicken but I didn’t add as much Dr. Pepper and combined ketchup and barbecue sauce because it was thicker and tastier. Here’s my take:

Hi- I'm Mique (as in Mickey). I started 30days as an idea file a few years ago. After three years and hundreds of ideas, I now realize that I'll never check them all off my list. When I'm not creating, I love spending time with family and friends and long drives, especially if they end at the beach.

I love Dr. Pepper in small doses. I always wind up throwing half of the can away. What a great recipe and way for me to use the leftovers up. Thanks!!!
I love Dr. Pepper! Any excuse to buy it works for me.
I love to braise beef roasts in Dr Pepper, add a little tomato sauce, garlic, onion, and chipolte if you like spicy
I was basically ordered to make this chicken when my boyfriend saw the recipe title. He’s a bit of a dr. pepper freak. Thanks for the recipe!

Can you use diet dr. pepper?
This is a really good. I have done this for a long time. It is also good on ribs, Pork Chops and in a sauce to put over Meat Loaf. For Meat Loaf it is very simple. Make your meat loaf like you like to make it. Then for topping use half a can of Dr. Pepper. Half 1/4 cup Ketchup 1/4 cup of Barba Q sauce two Tsp of Brown Sugar and one half of not jelly but whole Cranberry sauce in can. Mix and coat Meat Loaf. Telling you it is awesome.
is it teaspoon or tablespoon brown sugar?
