Total time:
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, giblets removed (you can use them to make stock)
- 2 T olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 C water
- 1 T cornstarch
- 1/2 C water
- 3/4 C balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper in bottom of Crock Pot. Add chicken. Drizzle chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour 1 C water into bottom of Crock Pot. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 5-6 hours (or until temperature inserted into thickest part of meat comes to 180F).
- Whisk together cornstarch, 1/2 C water, and balsamic vinegar. Pour into a small saucepan over medium heat. As it gets warm, it will start to thicken. Whisk, and be careful that it doesn’t burn. It should only take a few minutes.
- Halfway through cooking time, brush chicken with glaze (or if you’re not going to be home, brush with glaze when you put chicken in at the beginning).
- Right before serving, brush a little more glaze on the chicken.
Notes
Would be yummy with Caramelized Brussels Sprouts, polenta, potatoes, or a simple pasta.
