Tips

• * Cooking times will vary depending on your slow cooker/clay pot. Adjust cooking times accordingly. Some slow cookers can take 3 to 4 hours at HIGH and 4 to 6 hours at LOW. The chicken must reach a safe temperature of 165°F before serving.
• Add the cornstarch mixture 30 minutes before the chicken is ready to serve.
• Fresh chicken breasts are best for this recipe versus frozen bags of chicken – fresh chicken produces less juice/liquid while cooking.
• Sesame seeds sprinkled on top are a great addition.
• Add some extra heat and flavor with a pinch of crushed red pepper or cayenne pepper for a tasty sweet and spicy kick.
• I have only used Smucker’s Sweet Marmalade and Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce and highly recommend using them for this recipe.
