I love to make Rotisserie Chicken Salad.
Chicken salad is one of my favorite lunch recipes.

Why do you need to cook for 5 hours on low if the chicken is precooked? Thank you for your time
Arlene Mobley
If you are cooking on low it can take up to 5 hours to heat and thicken the sauce. You should always check every couple of hours to make sure the sauce does not burn. Different slow cookers heat at a different rate.
