I didnt bother adding the cornstarch as I didnt want it super thick and sitting in a croc pot as I was at work all day. I came home to it not being as creamy and liquidy as the picture. It still turned out well but I also added a half cup of water when I left beciase I was afraid it'd dry up. The chicken was pull apart moist so, it was like a tomato pulled pork and I put it over a bed of rice! Overall a hearty meal! Just not perfect
