The crock pot is useful in cooking old
hens, also known as the “soup hens,” which
has a tougher meat and therefore would
need a long, slow simmer to arrive at its tender
best. When cooked as a chicken soup in a

or slow cooker simmers food on a low cooking
temperature and can be left unattended.

the crock pot, it’s a lot more convenient and fuss-free.

chicken dishes but give it attention in the beginning and just when you’re about to serve
it. After all, the gift of the crock pot chicken is a hot meal to share with the family, without
having to slave on it for hours.
