Slow cooker coq au vin

This is adapted from a couple of recipes I’ve found online. They’re all basically the same but I’m recording it here because it’s worth sharing anyway. My husband hates bone-in chicken so I make dishes like this on nights he works. More for me!

Approximately 6 Chicken legs and thighs
6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 onion, Coarsely chopped
4 carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
8 button mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper
1 tsp thyme
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups red wine

 

Layer all ingredients and cook on low 6 1/2 to 7 hours. Serve with a starch (potatoes, rice, pasta).
