Uncooked
Cooked and shredded
Ummm so this method has basically just changed my entire life! You cant get any easier than plopping a whole frozen chicken into your crock pot and leaving for 5 hours! I found this method on a youtube video and was impressed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX4DjU43Bj4 , I heard people can get 5 meals out of a whole (small) chicken so I had to try it out. I used a different "recipe" than the lady in the video, here is what I used.....
*** I had a 5 pound chicken and left it in all night and it was amazing!
Ingredients:
1 whole frozen chicken (3ish pounds)
1 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 carrots sliced
1/2 onion diced
2 stalks celery cut
2 bay leaves
Directions:
Pour 1 cup water in your crockpot, lay chicken breast down in your crock pot, sprinkle salt and pepper on and around your chicken, stuff the cut carrots, onion, celery and bay leaves around chicken. Cover, set on high and go do something fun for 5 hours. To check if done you can stick a knife in a thick spot of the chicken and see if the meat is still pink, if it is still pink cook longer. When done, remove from crockpot and separate chicken as desired. If you want you can broil your chicken 5 minutes on each side for a more crispy chicken.

Remove the skin from the chicken and pull the meat off the bones. Store the meat in the fridge until ready to use. Put the bones back into the crock pot. Add two more whole carrots, 2 whole stalks celery, half an onion, and another bay leaf. Add 5 more cups of water, turn the pot to low and cook an additional 4 hours. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.
