Slow Cooked Chicken

3 Chickens worth of legs/thighs
1/4 cup Chicken Rub
4 cups Chicken Broth

Cut up a chicken so that you have thighs and drumsticks.  

Place half of the meat into the slow cooker and sprinkle with half of the Chicken Rub.  Repeat.

Pour chicken broth into a corner of the slow cooker trying not to get any of the chicken rub to come off the chicken, don't worry if some does.

Cook on high for 2 hours and on low for 3-4 hours.  You want the meat to have come back from the drumstick about 2 inches and to easily come apart if you put a fork it in and twist.

Remove one meat item from slow cooker with tongs.  Remove skin and place bones and skin in a discard bowl and shred chicken in another bowl.  

Note: Save broth for other recipes calling for chicken broth.  I like to use it in soups and rice.  Strain broth with a mesh strainer.  Let cool and put in fridge.  Next day the fat will be easy to remove.  Just lightly scrape it off and discard.  Makes about 3-4 cups broth.

Also do not feed dogs cooked bones.  They should only eat raw bones.
