# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The sauce does all the heavy lifting so you can focus on everything else happening in your life.
- Shredded chicken soaked in that sweet tangy glaze works in sandwiches, over rice, or straight from the pot with a fork.
02 -
- Opening the lid to peek adds cooking time so trust the process and leave it alone.
- Chicken thighs stay even juicier than breasts if you want to switch things up.
03 -
- Check your barbecue sauce label if gluten matters to you because Sweet Baby Rays makes both regular and gluten free versions.
- Let the shredded chicken sit in the warm sauce for ten extra minutes before serving for maximum absorption.
