    Cover and cook on high 4-6 hours, propping open the lid with toothpick the last hour to thicken the sauce. If your cooker runs 'hot', check after 3 hours to see if it's almost done, then prop lid. If your cooker runs 'slower', check after 4 or 5 hours. You don't want to overcook the chicken as it will become dry. Once you know, you can note the cooking time on the recipe printout.
