Couldn't figure it out when it was cooking in liquid all day. Then my chef bro-in-law told me it was b/c I was using boneless. The bone is what keeps the meat moist from the inside. <br /><br />Now any meat I cook in the crockpot I use bone-in as much as possible, even if it means Ruthie in TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979239344103890121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-44069942152834696702013-01-08T16:57:10.858-08:002013-01-08T16:57:10.858-08:00I just made this tonight.

It was quite sticky, and I needed to add more water, but it was still good. It definitely needed salt. I added buffalo sauce and it was perfect! Everyone ate it. I'll have to watch the cooking time better next time, and there will be a next time. Thank you!

I made it back in the very beginning of my slow cooking adventures and haven't revisited it in quite a while.

I got great results using a whisk to mix the roux, so that's different from just stirring it. I also used about 2 cups of rice, instead of the 1 1/2.
