"Sounds hard to believe, but it is possible to put a whole frozen chicken in the crock pot and have dinner in about 7-8 hours. When I buy the chicken, I unwrap it and take the gizzards out and also remove the paper placed under the bird. I also try to purchase a chicken with a pop-up timer. Then I re-wrap the bird and freeze it until I'm ready to cook it. Please keep in mind that I have a new crock pot which seems to be hotter than my old one, so cooking times may vary a bit. The original idea for this recipe came from Taste of Home. This is my modification. Hope you enjoy!"

If the chicken is frozen, how can I remove the gizzards first unless I thaw it out a little?

I have a huge chicken that won't fit in my pressure cooker or slow cooker so I'm doing this in the oven. I've used french onion soup mix, thyme, rosemary, orange juice with cut up oranges on the chicken. Should be YUM. Oven is set at 110C and I'll cook it for 6 or 7 hours from frozen

What a great basic recipe! I was a bit worried at first, but it worked great!! I was out of wine so used chicken broth instead. I also added potatoes with the carrots. I had a ton of gravy too. I will definetly be making this again for the next time i forget to defrost the night before! Thanks so much!
