2 stalks celery
1 (4 lb.) fryer chicken
3 T. olive oil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp. dried sage
1 tsp. salt (optional, I don't use it)
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. chicken broth (reduced sodium)
1/3 c. dry white wine
3 heads garlic
1 lemon, quartered

Coarsely chop celery and place across bottom of crock pot. Remove neck & gizzards from chicken. Thoroughly rinse & clean chicken & pat completely dry. Place lemon quarters inside chicken cavity. Rub olive oil all over outer chicken skin.

In small bowl, combine dried thyme, dried sage, salt, dried rosemary & pepper. Mix well & sprinkle seasoning mixture over chicken. Place seasoned chicken over celery in crock pot. Pour chicken broth & dry white wine around chicken.

Separate garlic into individual cloves, but do not peel the cloves. Place cloves all around chicken. Cover & cook on low setting 10 to 12 hours, or on high for 7-8 hours. To serve, remove chicken to a serving platter & let cool slightly before slicing.

Serves: 6-8

    Skin on or skin off on the chicken?
    The 40 cloves of garlic is smelling good even in my imagination! Thanks for posting this.

    What about portabello mushrooms instead of the chicken?

    I made this yesterday - found it fall off the bone tender in about 8 hours on low. I really enjoyed the flavor, and the garlic aroma in the house, but find that I'm not too fond of the consistency of crock-pot cooked chicken - the texture is just different.

    I plan to make it again but will do a long slow roast in the oven instead.

    All in all, a winner of a recipe.

    Thanks for this great recipe! I tried it this weekend. Since I don't have a crockpot I put it in my pressure cooker (it cooked in about 2 hours (I just doubled the wine and water to make sure there was enough liquid in the cooker). I would add double the amount of celery in the bottom since it turns out so delicious that you will want to eat more!

    I also used the drippings to make an easy gravy (Just added a couple tablespoons of flour to some of the drippings) - not very healthy but who doesn't love gravy :)
