How do you cook a frozen chicken in slow cooker?
You should not cook a frozen chicken in a slow cooker.
Here's why:
* Food safety: Cooking frozen chicken in a slow cooker doesn't heat it evenly and quickly enough to kill harmful bacteria. This can lead to food poisoning.
* Uneven cooking: Frozen chicken takes a much longer time to cook than thawed chicken. The slow cooker might not reach a high enough temperature to cook the chicken thoroughly, leading to a raw or undercooked center.
Instead of cooking frozen chicken in a slow cooker, follow these steps:
1. Thaw the chicken completely: This can be done in the refrigerator overnight or by using the defrost setting on your microwave.
2. Pat the chicken dry: Excess moisture can lead to a less flavorful dish.
3. Season the chicken: Use your favorite spices and herbs.
4. Place the chicken in the slow cooker: Make sure the chicken is not overcrowded.
5. Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
6. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Here's a bonus tip: To avoid dry chicken, add some liquid to the slow cooker, such as chicken broth, water, or wine.
