I cooked mine for 8 hours using frozen boneless chicken breasts.  You can use thawed chicken breasts/thighs and cook for 4-6 hours on “high.”  Once the crock pot has finished, use forks and shred the chicken in the pot.  Adjust the flavoring and add the hot sauce.   Cook one cup of white rice separately.  When the cooking time is done, fold the cooked rice into the crock pot. After the rice is added, with 30-minutes of cooking time remaining, this is the point you would add thawed shrimp to the crock pot.
