# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Four ingredients and a slow cooker transform into the most tender, fall apart chicken youve ever tasted
  • The sauce gets sweeter and deeper as it cooks, creating that sticky finger licking quality everyone fights over
  • You can dump everything in the morning and come home to dinner thats better than most takeout
02 -
  • The sauce thickens as it cooks, so don't panic if it looks thin at the start
  • Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts if you don't mind a little extra fat
  • That pinch of cayenne everyone suggests actually makes the sweetness pop in ways you wouldn't expect
03 -
  • Spray your slow cooker with nonstick spray before adding anything
  • The sauce reduces as it cooks, so don't be tempted to add more liquid halfway through
