🍗 Frozen chicken works well for the long cook time. If using chicken thighs, reduce butter to 1/4 cup since they contain more fat.
🌶 For extra flavor, add 1-2 teaspoons of pepper juice from the pepper jar, or omit peppers for a milder taste.�️ Add onions, celery, carrots, or baby red potatoes directly into the pot without extra liquid and cook alongside the chicken.
