Crockpot Whole Chicken

This is a recipe I've wanted to do for a while, but seeing that my husband had some doubts about how it would turn out I hesitated. Well, next time I'll ignore his doubts because this was absolutely amazing and he is now a believer.
This recipe is VERY flexible, you can add any spices you like, any veggies you like and regardless it's going to turn out fantastic.

Whole Crockpot Chicken
1 whole chicken
2 sprigs of rosemary
1 Fennel bulb chopped into large pieces
1 tbsp sage
1/2-1 cup white wine (depending on how much "broth" you want)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Rub whole chicken with salt, pepper and sage
Place in bottom of crockpot legs down
Place rosemary, fennel pieces around chicken
Add wine
Cook on low 6-8 hours

As I said this recipe is very flexible, replace the fennel for onion, use parsley, cilantro, thyme, any herb you want. Add different veggies, carrots, celery, sweet potatoes, the options are endless.

****The chicken turns out very moist, just be careful as the bones can easily be hidden as the  meat falls off the bone and some of the bones are very small.

  1. so it'll totally fall apart? what if I put it in at 7am and don't get it out until 6pm?
