1. Can I cook the chicken on high instead of low?

Yes, cooking on high is absolutely fine! It will take around 3-4 hours instead of 6-8.

2. What can I do if the chicken isn’t coming off the bone easily?

If the chicken is tough, it likely needs more time. Be patient, and let it continue cooking until it becomes tender.

3. How do I know when the chicken is done?

The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). A meat thermometer works best for accuracy.

4. Can I add vegetables to the crockpot?

Absolutely! Vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and bell peppers complement the chicken wonderfully. Just place them around the chicken before cooking.
