Total Time: 13 mins Preparation Time: 12 mins Cook Time: 1 min

Ingredients

• 1 chicken (about 3 lbs give or take)
• 1/2 cup red wine or 1/2 cup wine
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/2 small onion
• 1 celery, cut in half
• 1 carrot, cut in half
• 1 dash herbes de provence, thyme or 1 dash herbs, combination of your choice

Recipe

• 1 crumple three pieces of aluminum foil and place in the middle of your slow cooker.
• 2 add wine, garlic, onion, celery and carrot.
• 3 place chicken on top of aluminum foil. (you may have to push the chicken down a bit so it'll all fit in there!).
• 4 sprinkle chicken with herbs, salt and pepper.
• 5 set slow cooker to high and cook for 1/2 hour per pound.
• 6 when ready, stick a meat thermometer into leg to ensure it is done. transfer chicken to a roasting pan and set oven to 500º fahrenheit.
• 7 roast for 8-10 minutes, or until skin is golden brown.
• 8 serve with roast root vegetables, mashed potatoes, or anything else you'd like!
• 9 the best part of this recipe? after your done cooking everything, you'll have a considerable amount of jus left over from the chicken. whisk it with some cornstarch for a truly delicious gravy, or save it in your fridge or freezer for at-the-ready soup stock when you need it in a pinch. (it's so much better than bouillon.).
