Introduction

Cooking chicken in a crock pot is one of the easiest ways to make dinner, and it’s also one of the most versatile. It keeps your kitchen cool on a hot summer day, and it allows you to cook all day long without worrying about coming home at 5pm to an overcooked meal. You can use any cut of chicken in this recipe: boneless breasts, bone-in thighs or legs, even wings!

Chicken breasts

Now, let’s talk about chicken breasts. These are small and cook quickly, so they’re best cooked at a low temperature. Chicken breasts will take 6 to 8 hours on the low setting in your Crock Pot.

Chicken thighs

Chicken thighs are a great choice for slow cooking. They’re meaty and flavorful, and they hold up well when braised or roasted in the oven.

Chicken thighs also work well in the slow cooker because they’re usually sold with skin on, which helps keep the meat moist during cooking (and makes it easy to remove afterwards).

Crock Pot Chicken Thighs on Low

The general rule of thumb is that chicken thighs take longer than breasts on most settings–you’ll want to cook them at least four hours if you want them tender enough to shred easily with a fork or knife. If you don’t have four hours to spare, try setting your crock pot on high instead; this will give them an extra hour of cook time per pound of meat!

Chicken wings

The chicken wings are one of the easiest recipes to make in your crock pot. If you’re using frozen wings, you can cook them for 6-8 hours on low. If you’re using thawed wings, then it’ll take about 4-6 hours on low instead.

Cooking chicken in a crock pot on Low takes between 6 and 10 hours.

You can cook chicken in a crock pot on Low for 6 to 10 hours, depending on the size and amount of liquid in your crock pot.

You’ll want to start with boneless, skinless chicken breasts if you’re going to use them in a recipe like this one that calls for cooked meat rather than raw (like if you were making chicken salad). If using bone-in pieces instead, then add about 2 hours onto your cooking time.

The seasoning matters too! If using just salt and pepper as seasoning then add an hour or two extra on top of whatever else has been suggested here. If adding paprika or other spices into the mix then add even less time than what’s listed above because those herbs will help tenderize the meat faster than others would work alone without any additional seasonings added at all – even though they may be good additions nevertheless!

Conclusion

I hope this information has been helpful. I know it can be confusing to figure out how long you need to cook chicken in a crock pot, but with these tips, you’ll be able to do it! The best thing is that there are so many ways to use your slow cooker. You can make soups and stews, chili and stewed meats like beef or pork–and they all taste delicious when cooked low and slow for hours at a time (which means less work for you!).
