If I use a rotisserie chicken I would just heat it on low in crockpot for 1 hour? Thank you
Dorotheia – Yes, you can use Rotisserie Chicken and add it later. It is a great way to use leftover chicken!
If I’m using thawed chicken, would it still be 3-4 hours on high?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, I would use the lower end of the cook time range if using thawed chicken.
If you use cooked chicken how long would you cook it in the crockpot for on low?
I would cook it for 2 hours on low or 1 hour on high to allow the flavors to incorporate.
