This is one of my favorite ways to whip up a tasty chicken dish that you will want to place on your monthly rotation. And, the whole thing gets whipped up in your slow cooker/Instant Pot/Crock Pot. All of the sauce ingredients are designed to develop multiple layers of flavor. As a matter of fact, the sauce is so good, you just might want to double it. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
