How long does crack chicken take to make?

It takes about 6 to 7 hours on low in the crockpot. You can also cook it on high for 3–4 hours, but the texture is best when slow-cooked.

Why does chicken get tough in the crockpot?

Usually, it’s from overcooking or using high heat too long. Chicken breasts do best on low heat for 6–7 hours, keeping them juicy and easy to shred.

Why is my crack chicken runny?

This can happen if the chicken releases a lot of liquid. Just stir well after shredding. If it’s still too thin, let it sit uncovered on warm for 10–15 minutes or add a little extra cheese.

What do you eat crack chicken on?

It’s great on buns, croissants, or tortillas. For a lighter version, try lettuce wraps, cucumber rounds, or even bell pepper halves.
