Reviewer's Comments:
I made this for the first time today, it was AWSOME! I did make some changes, I used a whole chicken and stuffed the cavity with one onion cut up in quarters and 3 cloves of crushed garlic. I also used poultry seasoning, garlic powder, Mrs. Dash, and paprika to season the chicken with. I used the foil balls, but put 2 cups of chicken broth on the bottom, and put the slow cooker on high for two hours and then turned it on low for 5 hours and it came out Great! It didn't fall off the bone because I didn't want to over cook it, but it was SO tender, I didn't even need a knife to cut it! My kids ate it all, I was hoping for leftovers for chicken salad, but there was none!

This recipe was simple and it made "fall off the bone" chicken. I used 5 chicken legs (skin removed) and cooked it on low for 9 hours. Instead of using the alluminum foil, I used potatoes (peeled and quartered) and carrots and onions under the chicken in the crock-pot. I added 1/2 c. chicken broth and lots of seasoned salt and pepper, too. The veggies were nice and soft and the flavor of this slow cooking was wonderful and EASY !!!

After reading the reviews I made some changes to this recipe, I used a whole 4 lb chicken and added 1/2 cup of broth to the bottom, throughout the day I added alot of spices and turned the chicken a couple of times. The cook time was only 2 hours on high and 5 hours on low. This was very moist and everyone in my family liked it. I will make it again soon.

So easy and delicious. I couldn't believe that it would work so well but it did. I rubbed the chicken with a ton of herbs and spices the night before and then stuck a head of garlic inside it when I cooked it. It came out perfectly!! Drop off the bones tender, and very tasty.
