I've had a couple of comments that cooked on low for 6 hours the chicken is over done. Since we are cooking this a bit on the stove first it may be best to be conservative and start with 4 hours if your crock cooks very hot (some are hotter than others). Mine was fine even after sitting on warm for several hours but every crock pot is different!
