So, why make quick chicken in the slow cooker? Easy answer: It does almost all the work for you, especially if you set it up in the morning and come back to eat later in the day.Įven better? It's reliably delicious. Poultry is generally a quick-cooking protein, so there are more efficient ways to get a chicken dinner on the table when time is of the essence.
The slow cooker is a great tool for cooking chicken-but not for the same reasons you'd list when it comes to cooking, say, pork shoulder or beef short ribs.
