Tracy says
This is the only way I cook chicken now. It’s extremely moist and flavorful, Plus, it gives it’s own broth, of which I store for later use.
Heidi says
So glad you liked it, Tracy! I agree… I love how tasty and juicy it turns out!
Brooke says
Have you done a chicken in the crockpot on low 8 hours? if so, Is it still good and moist? I just notice the recipes said high and 4 hrs. I was hoping I could leave in crockpot while working and didn’t know if 8 hrs would dry it out. Thank you
Heidi says
Hi Brooke ~ yes… you can cook it for 8 hours on LOW as well. ENJOY! 🙂
