Crock Pot Tips and Tricks
Chicken is the perfect meal to cook in the crock pot, as it becomes more tender as it cooks, improving the flavor of the chicken. When cooking with the crock pot, it helps to prep your ingredients the night before, and store them in the refrigerator until they’re ready to cook.
Cook on low heat, and trim any fat before cooking, as it won’t drain away in the crock pot. While you don’t need to add cooking spray, getting out your crockpot and spraying it with cooking spray may make cleaning afterwards easier.
