Will chicken do okay in crockpot without liquid? Just started it but nervous whether this will be tender or not
Hi Angela ~ yes, it will be fine, as it will end up cooking in its own juices. It turns out very tender and delicious. ENJOY! 🙂
Do you recommend LOW or HIGH setting for the crockpot?
Hi Jane ~ for this recipe I cook on HIGH, but if you prefer low, just extend the time. Hope that helps! 😉
Let;s try these sometime.
