I believe “crack” is slang adapted from England.
It does mean “really good.”
Right. I’ve heard “crack” or “cracking” used as an adjective to mean “exceptional, superlative, excellent.” “A crack (or crackerjack) crew” or “a cracking good movie” I’m familiar with.
“Crack cocaine” I’ve heard to mean a particularly potent or addictive form of cocaine. But used as in “crack chicken,” etc. is new to me.
Why, Bob’s your uncle!
I’ve heard the phrase about something being cracking good, or let’s crack on. Seems very British.
That’s not the intention of those who name a recipe something like Crockpot Chocolate Crack dessert. That reference is to crack cocaine and implies the recipe is as addictive as crack cochise.
