- apple cider vinegar - brown sugar - kosher salt - chicken breasts - hot sauce

Combine vinegar, brown sugar, salt, hot sauce, and black pepper in your slow cooker. Add chicken.

Cook in a 3-4 quart slow cooker, on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. If using a larger 5-6 quart crock-pot, cook on low for about 6 hours.

We do not recommend cooking this recipe on high in a 5-6 quart crock-pot because the chicken tends to overcook and become dry.
