The key to getting slightly crispy chicken in this Crock pot Cashew Chicken is actually coating it in a mixture of cornstarch and black pepper and then quickly browning it in a skillet before adding it to your slow cooker. But if this defeats the whole purpose of using a slow cooker for you, and don’t want to dirty another pan, just skip this step.
