I didn’t understand the concluding part of your article, could you please explain it more?
You can cook this recipe on the high setting on your crockpot if you are looking to save time for about 3.5-5 hours, until the chicken is done cooking. However, I recommend cooking on the low heat setting as it makes the chicken really moist!
