These slow cooker chicken tacos have the juiciest, most flavorful chicken. I love that you can make the chicken and prep the fixings ahead of time. It’s perfect for parties and is super family friendly. Have you tried my sweet and spicy baked chicken recipe? It’s been very popular with many of you and is always a winner at dinner parties plus it’s caveman EASY. Great news!!

Way too sweet, without much flavor. First time I didn’t like a recipe from here
I’m sorry to hear you didn’t love it. It should be sweet and spicy but feel free to adjust the seasoning and ingredients according to your preferred taste.
