- The sauce does all the heavy lifting so you can focus on other things
- Leftovers somehow taste even better the next day
02 -
- Cutting the chicken into smaller pieces before cooking helps it absorb even more sauce
- Opening the lid too often releases heat and adds unnecessary cooking time
03 -
- Chicken thighs stay even juicier than breasts if you do not mind a little extra fat
- Let the chicken rest for five minutes before shredding for the best texture
