CROCKPOT CHICKEN IN A POT

3 lb whole chicken
2 carrots, sliced
2 onions, sliced
2 celery stalks with leaves,
1 ts basil
2 ts salt
1/2 ts black pepper
1/2 c chlcken broth or wine

Put carrots, onions, and celery in bottom of CROCK-POT. Add whole chicken. Top with salt, pepper, liquid. Sprinklebasil over top. Cover and cook until done-low 8 to 10 hours. (High 3 to 4 hours, using 1 cup water). Remove chicken and vegetables with spatula.

I would suggest thawing chicken before cooking in the crockpot for sure--I don't think it would be safe to let it go from frozen to cooked over such a long period of time.
