How long do I cook the chicken in the rice cooker?

Cooking in the rice cooker typically takes about 1.5 hours for a whole chicken or until the rice cooker switches to warm. Ensure you flip the chicken to cook evenly. It’s ready when the meat is tender and reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F.

Can I use chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken?

Absolutely! Using chicken breasts will reduce cooking time. Just be sure to adjust accordingly, as they will typically cook faster and may require about 30-40 minutes depending on your rice cooker.

What types of apples work best for this recipe?

Sweet varieties, like Honeycrisp or Fuji, are excellent choices for this recipe, as they retain their texture while providing a delightful sweetness. Tart apples like Granny Smith can be used for a more balanced flavor.

What is the serving size for this recipe?

This recipe typically serves 4 people, but serving sizes can be adjusted depending on the size of the chicken and everyone’s appetite. It is perfect to pair with side dishes for additional servings.

How do I store leftovers?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in the rice cooker for optimal taste and tenderness.
