    Great recipe! It shredded so easily and tasted great. Plus, I am so happy to have the extra shredded chicken that I can pull out of the freezer anytime.

  3. Recipe said to add dukes mayonnaise. But I don’t know when where and how much.

    1. No, it doesn’t call for any mayo. I used a beer that had Dukes Mayo artwork on it.

  4. Looks delicious!!! Definitely going to try this   
    Where did you get your crockpot?  I’ve never seen one like that
