Can I use another type of meat for this recipe?

I have only made this using chicken but I think pork would be delicious as well.

What type of slow cooker did you use for this recipe?

I use this Ninja Foodi All-In-One set on the slow cooker function (make sure that the vent is open!). I find that the 6 QT size is the perfect size for making enough chicken so that we can have leftovers. If you use a slow cooker that is too large, the chicken can dry out. Also, if you use a Ninja Foodi, you may notice that it does not allow you to set the timer for under 4 hours. If that's the case, set your own timer to check on the chicken at the 3 hour mark.

Should I sear chicken before placing it in the slow cooker?

So many recipes call for the added step of searing the chicken. I have tried both ways but found that there was not much difference. However, if you prefer to sear your chicken, please feel free to do so!

How do I know when my chicken is cooked?

You do not want to overcook or under-cook your chicken. Chicken “pulls” better when it is cooked just right, and that means a finished temperature of 165 F . This will create a moist and succulent meat, that is not too dry or tough.

How spicy is this slow-cooker chicken?

If you only use 2 tbsp of hot sauce, this is not a very spicy recipe. However, to increase the level of heat, feel free to add additional hot sauce.

How can I make this PSMF pulled chicken into a keto slow cooker recipe?

Easy! All you have to do after the slow cooker chicken has been pulled is add 1/4 cup of olive oil to the chicken. That will add approximately 10 additional grams of fat per serving.

5-Ingredient PSMF Sweet and Spicy Slow Cooker Chicken

Ingredients

Units Scale

4-6 oz boneless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Sauce

2/3 cup brown sugar substitute
2-4 tbsp hot sauce (depending on how spicy you want your chicken)
2 tsp minced onion or garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup water

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Stir together the sauce together in the bottom of the slow cooker. Turn the slow cooker on high and allow the sauce to come to a boil for 3-5 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken. As sauce is boiling, salt and pepper the chicken.
Once sauce has thickened, add the chicken and stir to coat the chicken completely.
Cook on low for 3-4 hours or until chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set it to the side.
Bring the liquid from the slow cooker to a boil either in your multi-cooker or transfer it to a small sauce pan. Boil for 8-10 minutes until it reduces by half and thickens. Toss chicken in the sauce or drizzle on top.
