# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- The sauce does all the heavy lifting so you can focus on other things or just relax
- Leftovers somehow taste even better the next day in sandwiches or over rice
- Its the kind of meal that makes people think you tried much harder than you actually did
02 -
- Cooking on low instead of high gives you noticeably more tender and flavorful results every single time
- Resist the urge to lift the lid during cooking—every peek adds about 15 minutes to your cooking time
- The sauce thickens beautifully as it cooks, so don't worry if it looks too thin at the start
03 -
- Pat the chicken dry before adding it to the crockpot—this helps the sauce adhere better for more flavorful results
- Double the sauce if you're planning to shred the chicken, as it absorbs quite a bit during that step
