Crockpot Garlic Chicken gluten free

I know I have been posting a lot of crockpot recipes lately. I swear once Winter comes there is something cozy about pulling out my crockpot and smelling yummy food all day while it cooks. I am usually making several meals a day, so it is nice to know something will be done just in time for dinner without me having to keep an eye on it. I don't cook much with the crockpot during the Spring and Summer months. This recipe came out perfectly. Moist tender chicken with an amazing garlic gravy that is perfect to be served with mashed potatoes. I started with a whole fryer Chicken. I found some really good Free Range Organic Chicken for $0.99 a pound! Score! 


Crockpot Garlic Chicken
adapted from Recipe Girl

3 to 4 pounds of bone-in chicken pieces 
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium sweet onion, sliced
8 large garlic cloves, halved
several sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup rice flour

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.If you are using a whole fryer, carve it into proper pieces...(drumsticks, breasts, thighs)
 In a large skillet, heat oil over medium- high heat. Cook the chicken, skin-side-down, until the skin turns golden brown (about 4 minutes).
Combine the onion, garlic and thyme in a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Top with chicken, skin-side-up. In a small bowl, whisk together wine and flour until smooth and pour it over the chicken and into the slow cooker. Cover and cook until the chicken is tender- 3 1/2 hours on HIGH or 7 hours on LOW.
Serve chicken topped with sauce. Serve over mashed potatoes.

  1. Man.. I'm really missing out with the crock-pot recipes. This is the third crock-pot recipe I have seen on the blogs (not just yours). I have to pull out my crock-pot and get slow cooking. My only problem is I think of dinner way too late to use the crock-pot most of the time. This recipe looks really wonderful. I'm a big fan of garlic so you had me from the world go. :)
