A little chicken broth will go a long way to keeping it from drying out. Eight on low is more than enough.
Chicken breast is best done on low heat for 5-6 hours. If using high, I would check it around 3 hours to see if it’s at a safe temperature to eat (165F). When cooking on high it’s much easier to overcook it and then you get a dry and unpleasant breast.
From personal experience, I always loved doing low and slow as the flavors are deeper plus you don’t have to do much work. However, as long as the chicken’s at a safe temp (165 degrees F), any temp should be good to go, just go for lesser time for higher heat. Have fun cooking!
Thighs are much better for slow cooking due to their fat content and connective tissues. These break down and keep the meat moist and tender.
Same idea as a pork shoulder.
