I don’t have crockpot. Is there any other way I can cook it.
Use any heavy bottomed pan…cover and cook on really low heat.

Hi if we cook chicken for 3-4 hours whole chicken and bones will totally seperate and break
They will not in the crockpot…as it’s cooking on very low heat?
Could you tell me the quantity of chicken you used in the above recipe?
