FAQs

Can you put raw chicken in a Crockpot?

Yes, you can. According to the USDA, “The direct heat from the pot, lengthy cooking and steam created within the tightly-covered container combine to destroy bacteria and make the slow cooker a safe process for cooking foods.”

Is it better to cook chicken on HIGH or LOW in the slow cooker?

For best results, cook chicken on LOW in a slow cooker/Crockpot.
