How long does it take to cook a frozen chicken in crock pot?

Here's why:

* Food safety: Frozen chicken needs to reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to kill harmful bacteria. A crock pot heats slowly, and the chicken may not reach that temperature throughout, increasing the risk of foodborne illness.

* Uneven cooking: Frozen chicken will cook unevenly in a crock pot. The outside may cook while the inside remains frozen.

* Dry meat: Cooking frozen chicken can lead to dry, tough meat because the moisture is lost during thawing.

Instead, follow these steps for safe and delicious crock pot chicken:

1. Thaw the chicken completely in the refrigerator overnight.

2. Season and cook the chicken in the crock pot on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours.

Important Note: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
