FAQ

Can I put raw chicken in slow cooker?

Yes, you can put raw chicken in a slow cooker! Slow cookers and Crock-Pots are designed to cook raw meats. The direct heat from the pot, lengthy cooking time and steam created from the tightly covered container destroys bacteria, making slow cooking safe. You can put frozen chicken in a slow cooker, too!

Why is my chicken rubbery in the crock pot?

Aside from accidentally overcooking the meals, the most common reason we see for tough, rubbery, or overdone chicken is customers using a Crockpot that is far too big. Each of our meals comes with a recommended slow cooker size.

Do you need to put liquid in the slow cooker when cooking chicken?

Do You Need to Add Liquid? As long as the breast pieces are in a single layer, in contact with the slow cooker, then no, it’s not necessary to add any chicken broth or chicken stock. If you’re doing multiple layers, you will need to add liquid to cover the meat, but I don’t recommend this.

Do I need to brown of the chicken before it goes in the slow cooker?

Sear the Chicken Before Adding It to the Slow Cooker

Pre-cooking seals in the juices in the poultry and makes it even more tender as you cook it. A caramelized piece of meat will always taste better in your dish.
