# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • It literally takes five minutes to throw together before you leave for the day
  • The chicken becomes so tender you can shred it with a wooden spoon
  • That sweet and smoky sauce clings to every bite like it was made for each other
02 -
  • Cooking on high can make the chicken stringy low and slow is definitely worth the extra time
  • The sauce thickens as it sits so dont panic if it looks thin at first
  • Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts if you have the time to adjust the cooking time slightly
03 -
  • Spray your slow cooker insert with cooking oil first the sugar in the sauce can stick something fierce
  • If the sauce is too sweet for your taste add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar or mustard
