I put this recipe in the crock pot ! It was fabulous and the entire family loves it. Just put the potatoes in first for two hours on high then add the chicken for two hours and top when potatoes are tender and chicken is fully cooked! YUMMY!

This was a fantastic dish! My family loved it. I would recommend to cook the chicken for 30 minutes and add toppings the last 10 minutes of baking time. I would definitely make this dish again.

I only put about half the hot sauce and added some BBQ sauce(little mouths too feed ;). I also added 1/2 cup corn, 3 rolls of frozen chopped spinach, 1/4 each red,yellow and orange peppers :) delicious!
