Notes
- There is no need to add salt to the sauce and chicken mixture. The soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and chicken broth have enough salt in them to season the whole dish.
- Some of the newer crockpots have timers, which is really helpful. It’s important not to let the chicken come to room temperature and stay there for more than 4 hours.
- For food safety, use an instant-read digital meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is fully cooked. It needs to have reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
