# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The chicken becomes so tender you can cut it with a fork, and the sauce thickens into something impossibly rich and sticky.
- Its practically foolproof even if you are the kind of cook who usually manages to burn water.
- Leftovers somehow taste even better the next day, making it perfect for meal prep.
02 -
- Do not be tempted to lift the lid during cooking, every time you do, you are adding 15 to 20 minutes to the cooking time.
- The sauce will look thin at first but will thicken up beautifully as it cooks and reduces.
- If you are using particularly large chicken breasts, give them an extra hour on low to ensure they are cooked through.
03 -
- Line your crockpot with a disposable liner for cleanup that takes literally three seconds.
- If the sauce is too sweet for your taste, add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to cut through the sugar.
