- We use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe, traditionally from my friend they use legs, you could also use chicken breasts if needed.
- You can easily double this recipe, just use a larger 8 quart slow cooker.
- This can be frozen, see my tips above on how to do that.
- You can serve this with pasta, potatoes or rice.
- Red wine is needed in this recipe, but I have subbed balsamic vinegar before so you cold try that.
- You can cook this on other low or high, all depends on the time you have and when you want it finished.
