This method demonstrates how to prepare a whole frozen chicken directly in a slow cooker. The bird cooks with a mixture of chicken gravy, water, and white wine, creating its own sauce. Carrots and onion are added partway through the cooking process. After approximately 6 hours on low, the chicken is rested before serving. The resulting gravy can be strained and thickened. This is a convenient way to prepare a complete meal with minimal prep.
