So, I know lately I havent been doing any dinners, so I wanted to change that today with this ULTRA INCREDIBLE recipe you are sure to love!

This one is done in the Crock Pot/Slow Cooker which results in fall off the bone perfect chicken!

It is fairly easy too!

This can be served with a variety of sides, we had it with mashed potatoes!

I swear there is something purely magical that happens to meat in the slow cooker!

The glaze that covers the chicken is something out of a fairytale, seriously!

 Trust me, I was pouring some of it onto my mashed potatoes! LOL
