I usually roast a chicken in the oven, but I was really curious to try it in the slow cooker, so I got a fresh onion, fresh garlic, some mushrooms, and a big red hot pepper, chopped up all those things, stuffed some inside the chicken and sprinkled the rest on and around it, coated it in pepper, sage, rosemary, and oregano, and put the cooker on ( Read more... )

I put a whole chicken with maybe a cup or so of broth and a bunch of cut-up leeks in the crockpot before leaving for work - - about 4 1/2 hours ago.  I put it on high to get the crock going ...and forgot to turn it back to low.  I think I pushed the "four hour" setting.  What is happening to the chicken right now and should I try to get home to put ( Read more... )

I bought an herb stuffed chicken yesterday that is wrapped with this netting stuff and it meant for roasting in the oven for about an hour or so. Does anyone know if i can put this in a crock pot and cook it in the crock pot instead? If i were to do this, any suggestions on how to go about it? Thanks!

I made chicken in the crock for dinner tonight - my son's request for his birthday dinner.  I did my usual thing - put some cut up carrots and onions in the crock and set a whole chicken on top. But I thought it seemed a bit boring - same old, same old, you know.  So I cut up an apple, stuffed half of it inside the chicken (it was a BIG apple) and ( Read more... )
