1. “Teriyaki” Chicken
We say, “Teriyaki” because it isn’t actually teriyaki used, you guessed it’s— coke! It’s a unique take on a classic dish prepared the same exact way except for the featured ingredient. Definitely worth trying in place of the original! Get the recipe here.

7. Slow Cooker Ribs with Coca-Cola
What doesn’t sound good about that title? Coca-Cola adds sweetness to the barbecue glaze that balances out the spiciness of the sauce itself. It’s a perfect barbecue main dish for a summertime day. You can also make a similar glaze for chicken wings or another meat of your choice! Get the recipe here.
