- If the sauce is too thin and not coating the chicken well after cooking, make a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water. Pour the slurry into the slow cooker and give everything a stir. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on high.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized and similar-sized chunks so that it cooks evenly.
