Slow cooked Chicken in White Wine

I've been meaning to post this for a couple of days now, but its here, eventually!



Serves 2-4 people
Cost ~ £7 (more expensive if you get a dearer bottle of wine, obviously)

Ingredients

1 large white onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp mixed herbs
1 bottle white wine (i used low alcohol wine, as its cheaper)
8-10 mushrooms, sliced or quartered
4 chicken legs. (You can brown the chicken legs before adding them if you want a crispy skin, but I just chucked them in)
Seasoning

Method

Sautee the mushrooms, onions, garlic, herbs and seasoning, till onions are translucent
(If your slow cooker has a "sear" option, like mine, do it in there to retain the juices, otherwise sautee in a separate pan)

Add 1/2 bottle white wine, bring to a simmer

Add chicken legs

Slow cook for 2-4 hours until chicken is cooked through.

Keep checking on the liquid level, as it will absorb into the meat. Add more wine if needed. Don't let the sauce get too watery though. If you find it is, you can always add a teaspoon of dissolved cornflour to the mix to thicken it later as it cooks.

Serve with whatever side dish you want. I went for home made potato wedges.
