Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?
Yes, chicken breasts can be used, but they may dry out more easily in slow cooking. Adjust cooking time slightly to avoid overcooking.
What can I use if I don't have cornflour to thicken the sauce?
You can substitute cornflour with an equal amount of all-purpose flour or arrowroot powder to thicken the sauce.
Can I prepare this meal ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the ingredients ahead and refrigerate them separately. Cook in the slow cooker when ready and add the cornflour slurry just before serving.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
It is gluten-free if you ensure that the chicken stock and cornflour are gluten-free brands.
How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?
The chicken is fully cooked when it is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The meat should easily pull apart with a fork.
