I’ve used a technique like this for buffalo chicken for sliders. Chicken + sauce + crockpot, shredded and put back in the sauce works great with lots of sauce flavors.
This looks amazing! Like Kiryn, I have used a crockpot to make other shredded chicken. A personal favorite is chicken with homemade taco seasoning for quesadillas! I’m so glad you’re still putting out weekly recipes, I haven’t had a bad one from you yet!
I bet that if you cooked the chicken in an electric pressure cooker (which I have recently all but replaced my slow cooker with) that you’d be able to thicken the sauce right in the cooker… but you might want to reduce the amount of sauce you use or increase the amount of corn starch due to how little moisture you’ll lose in the cooking process.
Also protip – if you’re using a slow or pressure cooker, you can “shred” chicken and pork using only a potato masher.
Multipot/InstantPot users, this’ll work as a one pot (+ one bowl,) but make sure to use the “sauté” setting, not the “brown” setting when reducing/thickening the sauce.
This was insanely good. My slowcooker gets pretty hot so only had to slow cook the chicken for 4 to 4.5 hours. Other than that I followed the directions to the ‘T’, and it turned out perfectly.
Rosy, I cut the spicy stuff from the Bourbon chicken recipe which is similar and it works just fine. My wife hates spicy stuff. And when ya think about all the “asian” dishes out there, s’all variations of the same thing. Not unlike most “mexican” food. Tortilla with cheese meat n salsa. “Asian” is meat with honey, soy and pick a spice over rice or noodles.
Hey there! I tried this recipe tonight. I think that, like Jacob F., my crockpot must get really hot because our chicken ended up really dry. But it was a very enjoyable recipe to try otherwise!!

So, I cannot handle any sort of spice (sadly), would it be possible to leave out the spicey stuff and have it come out ok?
