These tips will enhance the flavour even more, and give you some ideas to keep this recipe fresh!
It’s recommended to thaw chicken first for food safety. Cooking from frozen may lead to uneven results or extended cooking times, especially in older models.
Avoid setting the cooker to high for extended periods. Stick to low heat, and make sure the sauce covers most of the chicken so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
This can happen if using high-sugar or store-bought sauces with added oils. Stirring occasionally or using a homemade sauce helps maintain consistency.
I like to keep things simple by serving it with a side of rice and steamed broccoli. Here are some more side dish ideas you can try:
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Freeze the chicken cooked or raw in the marinade for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge then cook as normal, or reheat the cooked chicken right from frozen for 4-5 minutes in the microwave.
Optional side dishes
To make rice: Add 1 cup dry white rice, 2 cups water and 1 tsp of butter to a rice cooker.
When chicken is done cooking, shred or dice into bite-sized pieces then add overtop of rice and serve with broccoli. Enjoy!
Make this recipe with chicken thighs, but decrease the cooking time to 6 hours on low.
