John's Crock Pot Cranberry Chicken image

A delicious recipe for the upcoming fall season. I like using chicken thighs rather than breasts in the crock pot as they stand up better to the longer cooking and add more flavor to the dish. Do not overcook the thighs. Six hours is about as long a cooking time as you'll need. I actually use a little less time. This recipe was posted by Wolverine on the TOHBB.
