  1. bigblogofcrock REVIEW:

    This was good, but I agree with the reviewer who said that it needed something more--a little kick (I ended up adding Tabasco sauce when I had it as leftovers). I think it might have worked out better if the chicken were cut into pieces and mixed in with everything in the beginning instead of at the end so that the chicken was cooking in the spices as well.

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    this recipe was rather bland it needed something to spice it up.

    • Many crockpot recipes call for adding all the spices/seasonings in at the beginning. I often find the flavors mellow TOO much by doing this. I prefer to add half the spices/seasonings at the beginning, then add the remainder in the last 30 minutes of cooking. That way, the flavors stay stronger.

  3. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    This dish was simply outstanding! We cooked it for 8 hours and the chicken fell right off the bone. We used chili powder and it turned out great! Highly recommend!
