The chicken is so easy! Buy a whole chicken, rinse in cold water and take out the giblet bag. Place the whole chicken in the crock-pot. Add whatever veggies you have on hand to the pot: Onions, celery, carrots etc. Fill the crock-pot full with water add a Tablespoon of kosher or garlic salt. Cook on low for 6-8 hr. And there you have it. A beautiful moist flavorful chicken and 4-5 cup of homemade chicken broth. The chicken broth can be easily made into a gravy by adding 2T of cornstarch to 2T cold water. Then adding that mixture to a cup or two of broth. Heat it on the stove on Medium heat until thickened. If it is too thick add more chicken broth or if it is too thin add some more cornstarch. Add some herb, garlic and salt for more flavor. The broth also freezes great.
