I adapted this recipe for the crockpot by making just a few changes in it.  The original recipe comes from Country Gourmet Cookbook.  The instructions weren’t really complicated but there were several steps that involved baking the chicken skin-side down for a while, then flipping it, deglazing the pan… I cut out all of that by using the crockpot.  The results were delicious and much easier than the original.  The only thing lost was that the chicken didn’t really brown as it would in the oven.
