Do you put any liquid in with the chicken? I worry about it drying out (the slow cooker and the chicken!).

No I don't Stacey, I find the juices that come from the chicken stop it drying out, but if it does begin to look a little dry just add a little hot water to the cooker, it should be alright then.

That sounds delish - just out of interest do you skin the chicken beforehand?

Definitely going to give this a go. Thanks

No I always skin the chicken after it is cooked, you'll find the chicken will be so tender that the meat will just fall off the bones, so it will be easy to remove the skin. Enjoy!!
