Expert Tips

Chicken thighs, with their higher fat content, are better cooked in the slow cooker than lower fat chicken breasts. Breasts, which become tough and dry with long, slow cooking, are best used in recipes with minimal cooking time.

Tasty, better the second day. Despite all the spices on the chicken, not too flavorful. Needed some hot sauce for zing or recommend a spicier salsa. We like our chili spicy hot.
