- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 pound baby gold potatoes, cut in half
- 2 cups crimini mushrooms, cut in quarters
- 40 cloves garlic, peeled, left whole
- 1 small yellow onion, sliced
- 6 slices fresh lemon
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 6 sprigs fresh Italian parsley
- 3 bay leaves
- lemon slices for garnish

Method
Step 1
Season the chicken wings and thighs with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Brown the chicken pieces in the oil, turning, until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Place the chicken pieces in the slow cooker.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the white wine, melted butter and chicken stock. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Step 3
Add the potatoes, mushrooms, garlic and sliced onions to the slow cooker. Then add the lemon slices, black peppercorns, thyme, parsley and bay leaves. Set the slow cooker on low and braise for 6 hours. Every hour or so, stir the ingredients in the slow cooker.
Step 4
Gently remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place on a serving platter. Spoon the potatoes, mushrooms, garlic and onions around the chicken. Strain the sauce and discard the lemon slices, black peppercorns, thyme, parsley and bay leaves.
Step 5
Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, then garnish with fresh sprigs of thyme and parsley and fresh lemon slices.
Step 6
Notes: Slow-braise the chicken for 6 hours on the low setting of your slow-cooker.
