Was just wondering if I wanted to do bone in skin on chicken. Would that change the Cooke time and tempter ?
Paula says
Chris, have you ever tried this with boneless country style ribs? Seems like a good fit! Would you switch up the tomato paste, since it’s pork? Maybe barbecue sauce? Thanks!
Christina Hitchcock says
I haven’t but it should work perfectly! It’s a great sauce recipe.

I don’t see any beer in this.
What am I missing?
Christina Hitchcock says
There is no beer in this recipe.
Deb says
Looks like beer was must have been in the original recipe, as the option to sub a non-alcoholic version is given.
Christina Hitchcock says
There’s no beer in this recipe. I’m not seeing where it mentions non-alcoholic beer either. But, I think I am going to try it with beer next time! Thanks for inspiring me!
Ilka says
What do you like to serve with this dish?
Christina Hitchcock says
Usually I serve rice and broccoli or green beans.
Heather P. says
Is it possible to cook the chicken on low for 8 – 10 hours since I don’t have 4 hours in a row to cook this before I’m home for dinner at night or would that way overcook this? Perhaps I could pre-cook the first step and just broil it when I get home to heat it up? Has anyone tried either of those approaches yet? Thanks!!
Christina says
Hi Heather! I always cook my chicken for about 8 hours. I put in before leaving for work and then finish it off when I get home. I works just fine. I do use the thickest chicken breasts I can find though. I’m fearful that the thin ones would be waaaaaay overdone.
Good luck! 🙂

Is this supposed to cook 4 hours on Low or High?
Christina Hitchcock says
Low
Jessica says
I know I cant use my Pyrex dish under the broiler or it will crack, but I was wondering if I could use my metal 9×13? Im making this tonight and I dont want to have to run to the store for a new pan.
Christina says
I’ve used my metal pan under the broiler without problems. I would think you would be OK too! I hope you enjoy the dish! 🙂
Julie says
I can’t wait to try making this! I’m thinking Valentine’s Day will be that day. I just have a question, what can you do if your stove is a bit older and doesn’t have a broiler?
Christina says
Hope you like it! 🙂 I would try cooking the sauce down a bit in a pan on the stove if you don’t have a broiler. Let me know how you make out!
Anwar says
What a fast way to cook a cichken! We’re not much for beer at our house, but I’m wondering if cichken broth or water work work, too. I can’t wait to give it a try.
Christina says
I would definitely try subbing chicken broth for the beer. Or, maybe a non-alcoholic beer? Let me know how you make out! 🙂
Kim says
I found you through ‘Under the Table and Dreaming’ – this recipe looks amazing! I am always looking for slow cooker recipes and will definitely try this.
Thanks!

MaryAnn Coggins says
That looks so good Chris. I’m wondering if you could use boneless chicken breast instead of bone-in chicken? By the way, I love your blog….<3
Christina says
Yep! That’s what I used…boneless, skinless! It was fantastic!
Thanks for the kind words! 🙂
MaryAnn Coggins says
I just happen to have boneless skinless chicken breasts in the freezer…:-) I will definitely try this Chris!!! Thanks for your response.
Jenn says
Sounds yummy! I love crockpot dishes lately!
