My Amish neighbor taught me this method for Sunday dinner. Just 3 ingredients cooked low and slow all afternoon. The meat falls right off the bone and smells absolutely incredible.

of the recipe simple, add freshly ground black pepper along with the salt. It gives the chicken a slightly fuller flavor without changing the method.

For browner skin: Slow cookers keep chicken moist, but they do not deeply brown the skin. If you would like a more roasted look, place the cooked chicken under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes after slow cooking, watching closely so it does not tear or dry out.
