I season a chicken and place it in the slow cooker on high. Do this early in the morning. If you must leave to go to work, kick it on low for the rest of the day. When you get back, remove it from the juices and let all cool. Reserve the juice, but let the oil come to the top and discard. Keep the juices to use as broth in another dish or add a little to moisten the meat. The meat will literally fall off the bones. Use your favorite chicken salad
recipe. Your kitchen will be nice and cool.
You're so welcome. I'm in hot south Louisiana. I've even picked up a rotissarie chicken at the store and come home and deboned for chicken salad or "grilled" chicken salad.
Never thought of this---thanks for idea. Will try it next time as we do eat a lot of Chicken salad all year in Hot Texas!
Edit:
OOPS! :oops: I goofed again. I suppose you can find my message up there just before your last comment. BTW, those rotissarie chickens are delicious, but too salty for my own good, so I try not to overuse them. The crock pot chicken is the best way to go because of the salt issue over here.
