[...] Fresh, mature beans cook up in about half an hour. No soaking required (I don’t think). They’re fast, easy and delicious. Just add to soup or stew, let simmer and eat up. Our soup that night was delicious and included garden tomatoes, potatoes and zucchini, and crockpot chicken. [...]

Nikki — Oh, totally! I haven’t been discarding it for ages. Thanks for letting me know this was a post that needed updating! I’m embarassed about everyone who’s read this thinking I throw that good stuff out.

Wardeh, recommendation…keep the fat from the stock! Let it harden in the freezer, scrape off and store and use just as you would bacon grease. Great way to get more animal fat! When you look at the many ways to save with cooking chickens this way, it adds to the savings big time!

If your crockpot runs hot and you use high, it could be done in 4 to 6 hours. Look for whether the thighs are falling apart from the body and you’ll know it is done. Enjoy!

Hi Wardeh! I really love this technique of cooking chicken, thanks for sharing it. I got my chicken in a little late today (10AM) and I was wondering what the total cooking time is for you if you get it started early.

Thanks!

Carrie – I either use the drippings for sauces, sauteeing, or cooking grains. Or I combine the drippings with the finished stock. Either way it gets used – and you’re right it is really good for you! Sometimes it has more gelatin than the stock.

Can I ask you what you do with the drippings from your cooked chicken? I’m planning to make some homemade broth tonight and every other recipe I’ve found doesn’t mention the drippings, but it seems like there must be a lot of good nourishing thing in it so I hate to waste it.

So far I have my bones and other leftover parts of the chicken back in my crockpot with cold filtered water and some vinegar, and I’m planning to add in lots of veggies (and garlic, and maybe a bay leaf?) later tonight before bed, but not sure when or how much to put any of the drippings in. Any thoughts? I figure you might not get this till tomorrow or later, but at least it’ll help for next time! Thanks!!
