Cooking time listed is 1 hr. In the recipe. Yet on cooking time above says 2 hrs. Which is correct? The rest looks fantastic and I'm planning to make it this week 🙂

Hi Onya, It's 2 hours on low or 1 hour on high. I also recommend pre-heating your slow cooker while you prepare the ingredients. Starting with a warm, fresh rotisserie chicken will also help ensure cook time only takes an hour. Thanks for asking! I hope you enjoy!
