Preparation

Step 1

Lightly coat an unheated 3- or 3 1/2-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken in the bottom of the cooker. In a small bowl combine picante sauce, pepper sauce, paprika, thyme, and bay leaf. Spoon over chicken in cooker.

Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 hours.
