# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sauce-to-meat ratio creates the most incredible sticky coating that you will want to eat with a spoon
  • It is practically foolproof even for people who claim they cannot cook anything beyond toast
  • The leftovers somehow taste even better the next day tucked into sandwiches or over rice
02 -
  • Resist the urge to lift the lid during cooking every time you check you lose precious heat and extend the cooking time
  • The sauce will look thin at first but trust me it thickens up beautifully as it cooks and reduces
03 -
  • Line your slow cooker with a removable liner for the easiest cleanup ever
  • Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before shredding so it holds onto those juices better
