Notes

  • If this is your first time cooking frozen chicken in the slow cooker, it is important to ensure the chicken's internal minimum temperature is 165°F. You can check this using a meat thermometer when the chicken has been cooking for the abovementioned times. Once your chicken has reached this temperature, it is safe to consume and out of the danger zone.
  • Avoid taking the lid off your slow cooker while cooking, as this will release heat and cause the chicken to take longer to cook.
  • You can cook this chicken recipe using your slow cooker's high or low setting. Whichever you choose depends on how quickly you would like to cook the chicken. The high-temperature setting will reach the minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F faster than the low setting.
  • If you want perfectly cooked and seasoned chicken, only use the amount of water shown on the recipe card. Frozen chicken releases liquid as the chicken cooks, so the additional liquid is unnecessary.
