Q1: Is it better to cook chicken on high or low in the crockpot?

Low is usually best for even cooking and juicy results, especially with boneless chicken breasts.

Q2: Is it okay to put raw chicken in a slow cooker?

Yes. It's completely safe—just make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F before serving.

Barbecue sauce, orange marmalade, and soy sauce make up the classic trio in this recipe.

You can, but it’s thinner than marmalade, so the sauce won’t be as sticky or sweet.

Chicken, of course! The sauce brings the flavor, but the chicken is the star.

In this version: barbecue sauce, orange marmalade, and soy sauce.
