Can I use frozen chicken in Dump and Go Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken?

It is best to thaw chicken before cooking. Frozen chicken raises the crockpot temperature slowly and can stay in the danger zone too long. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for safe, even cooking.

How do I make the sauce thicker for serving?

Remove some sauce and mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water. Stir it into the crockpot and cook on high until thickened. Alternatively, simmer the sauce in a skillet until it reduces.

Can I make Dump and Go Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken gluten-free?

Yes. Use gluten-free teriyaki sauce or tamari. Check labels on broth and sesame oil if you need a certified gluten-free product.
