Steps:

• Crumple three pieces of aluminum foil and place in the middle of your slow cooker.
• Add wine, garlic, onion, celery and carrot.
• Place chicken on top of aluminum foil. (You may have to push the chicken down a bit so it'll all fit in there!).
• Sprinkle chicken with herbs, salt and pepper.
• Set slow cooker to high and cook for 1/2 hour per pound.
• When ready, stick a meat thermometer into leg to ensure it is done. Transfer chicken to a roasting pan and set oven to 500º Fahrenheit.
• Roast for 8-10 minutes, or until skin is golden brown.

• The best part of this recipe? After your done cooking everything, you'll have a considerable amount of jus left over from the chicken. Whisk it with some cornstarch for a truly delicious gravy, or save it in your fridge or freezer for at-the-ready soup stock when you need it in a pinch. (It's so much better than bouillon.).
