# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The sauce does all the heavy lifting, so you can set it and forget it
- Leftovers somehow taste even better the next day
02 -
- The sauce will thicken as it cooks, so resist the urge to add more liquid unless it looks bone dry
- Cooking on low gives you the most tender results, but high works when you're pressed for time
03 -
- Pat the chicken dry before adding it to help the sauce adhere better
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding to keep all those juices inside
