# Tips from hearthlykitchen:
01 -
- Its practically foolproof even on your most exhausted days
- The chicken turns out so tender you can cut it with a spoon
- The sauce caramelizes into something that tastes like you spent hours over a grill
02 -
- Cheap BBQ sauces can turn weirdly sweet so taste your sauce before dumping it in
- Every crockpot runs a little different so check for doneness a hour early the first time
- Shredding the chicken right in the pot saves dishes but makes serving messier
03 -
- Pat the chicken dry before adding it so the sauce sticks instead of sliding off
- Dont lift the lid too often or you lose heat and extend the cooking time
