Fix it and forget it in the Crockpot while you do other things. This easy chicken recipe is ready in just a few hours, not an all day Slow Cooker meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 Leg Quarters
  • 1 pkg. Zesty Italian Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Turn Crockpot on to Low setting
  2. Rinse the leg quarters under cool running water
  3. Place the leg quarters into the Crockpot
  4. Sprinkle the Zesty Italian seasoning over top
  5. Cover and cook on Low approximately 3-4 hours until done. Chicken should register 165° on a meat thermometer when done.


Serve and enjoy!

Notes

You can put the leg quarters into a Ziploc bag and sprinkle the Italian Seasoning Mix over them then close and shake well to cover before putting the chicken in the Crockpot. I have done it both ways and it comes out delicious either way.
