Chicken With Cranberries and Orange image

I got this recipe from 'Joan Bishop's New Zealand Crockpot and Slow Cooker Cookbook'. It's very easy to prepare and is really tasty. The chicken turns out really tender and the dried cranberries come out plump and juicy. The author suggests cooking in a crockpot on low 8-9 hours or on high 4-4 1/2 hours. In a slow cooker she suggests cooking on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-3 1/2 hours. I have a slow cooker, so that's the time I've put in the instructions. I used maryland chicken pieces and also used brandy with the cornflour. The author suggests serving with couscous and a salad, but I prefer serving with rice.
