For chicken my favourite thing to do with the slow cooker is put the chicken in the pot, and add one of those tetra pack of soups, like vegetable and potato soup, or wild harvest mushroom. Then top with vegetables. You end up with the chicken cooked in a nice sauce without having to buy or mix a ton of ingrediants. Very handy for 5 minutes before leaving for work dinner planning.

Hi there

I have my favorite chicken leg recipe in the slow cooker right now actually.

I usually do NOT eat drumsticks but they're usually inexpensive.
I made this recipe myself.

6 or more chicken legs
1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp basil 1 cp of chicken broth
*(an oxo cube in 1 cp water)*
1) Wash and place chicken in crock pot.
2) Mix spices in a small bowl.
3) Pour broth over chicken.
4) Sprinkle spices over chicken

Cook on low heat for 4 hrs.

I usually serve this with rice and veggies.

MAPLE MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS:

INSTRUCTIONS:
Rinse turkey thighs & pat dry.

Place in slow cooker.

Mix together remaining ingredients & pour over turkey.

Cover & cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.

The first Thai Chicken recipe the pp listed is from me! This one is super easy & yummy! Here's another one...........

One of my favourite chicken recipes for the slow cooker is very simple

1 whole chicken (although I bet it would work with any chicken parts as well)
Melted butter (as much or little as you like)
Lemon Pepper

This makes an awsome chicken and after it is done you can transfer the liquid to a pot and add a little flour and make a delicious gravy. I usually serve it with mashed potatoes cause the gravy tastes great with them.
