Ingredients:
- 4.5 lbs chicken pieces
- ¾ cup Red Wine (Merlot)
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
- 1 Onion (cut in quarters)

- 1 Tsp Crushed Red Pepper
- Salt (to taste)
- Black Pepper (to taste)
To serve:

Season the chicken
pieces with salt and black pepper on all sides. Place the seasoned chicken
pieces in the slow cooker bowl also add in the onion, garlic cloves and two bay
leaves.
Mix the chicken broth
with the spices. Ground thyme, dry rosemary, Italian seasoning and crushed red
pepper. (you can replace the italian seasoning with a teaspoon of each: dry
orégano, dry sage, dry marjoram, and dry basil). Into the chicken broth
also add a bit of the red wine, just a
bit, so all the flavor will start to combined.
Pour this mixture over the chicken pieces in the slow cooker bowl. And
also add in the rest of the red wine.
Cover and cook the
chicken in the slow cooker on low temperature for 7 hours or until the chicken
is well cooked.
Or you can cook on high
temperature for 4 hours.
Or you can Bake the
chicken at 350ºF for about 90 minutes or until the chicken is well cooked.
Or cook it on the stove
on low heat for about 2 hours or until the chicken is cooked.
After 7 hours in the
slow cooker, now remove the chicken from the broth, and the chicken should be
cooked by now, you can now serve with your favorite side dishes, just
pour a bit of the broth over your chicken and serve it.
I will be serving my
chicken in buns, so after I remove it from the broth, now I will shred it, then
place it back in the broth and continue to cook for another 30
minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove
from the broth, and now you can serve it.
I toasted the hot dog
buns a bit, now fill them with plenty of the shredded chicken and top with a
bit of shredded cabbage and chopped green onions.
Serve with your favorite
hot sauce and enjoy!
