I wouldn't recommend cooking it from frozen - the outside would be cooked and it would still be raw inside!.

I think the issue with defrosting meats lies with having the meat transition from frozen to room temp too quickly!. This is why we thaw meat in the fridge, or use cold water rather than immersing in hot water!. However, if you do defrost it quickly (as you might in a crock), you should be okay as long as you are sure to cook the meat thoroughly to the proper temp and kill any bacteria that might have developed in the thawing process!. So if I had to guess, I'd say you're fine with throwing frozen chicken in the crock, but you should ensure you cook it to the proper temperature to kill off anything that might have grown during the 'warm thaw' stage!.
If your really concerned then put it on high for two hours and back to low fior the rest!.!.!.

If its a whole chicken, then there is going to be a package of giblets in the cavity which will need to be removed before you cook it!. Soak your chicken in cold water for a while in order to get them out!. Then season your chicken with kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, lemon and garlic!. Stuff the cavity with onion, garlic, and cut lemon!. Place in slow cooker with 1 cup water, mixed with 1 tsp chicken boullion!. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

MMM!.!.!.I love love love a slow-cooked chicken!. Everything you have sounds great! You could add sliced carrotts and cabbage!. Even if you don't like cabbage it puts a great taste with the rest of your food!. also, I would make sure the chicken is thawed before cooking, maybe put it in the refrigerator for a day!. Good luck!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
