Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely. Chicken thighs are actually excellent for slow cooking as they remain juicy and forgiving. You may need to add an extra 30 minutes to an hour on the Low setting, as thighs are slightly thicker. Check that the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) before serving
