Notes
- Cooking time will vary, depending on your slow cooker and the size of your chicken pieces. It will be between 5 - 6 hours on low or about 3 hours on high
- If you find the sauce too thin at the end, make a cornstarch mixture and add to the slow cooker. Combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until smooth. Pour in about 1/2 of the mixture into the sauce and stir until it starts to thicken. You may or may not need more.
