Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Chicken is slow-cooked with corn and egg noodles for a warm bowl of Amish-style goodness.
4 pounds roaster chicken
2 yellow onion, coarsely chopped
4 carrots, coarsely chopped
8 stalks celery, coarsely chopped, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon crushed saffron threads (optional)
4 quarts chicken broth or water
1 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 cup uncooked egg noodles
Place the chicken in a crock pot. Tuck the onion, carrots, and half of the celery around the chicken. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and saffron threads. Pour the broth over all.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the crock pot and let cool on a cutting board.
While the chicken is cooling, strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve and return the broth to the crock pot. Add the corn, remaining celery, parsley, and egg noodles to the crock pot. Turn the heat to high.
Remove the chicken meat from the bones and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Return the meat to the crock pot. Cook for 30 minutes or until the noodles are cooked.

Delish!! TONS of flavor (don't listen to the other review). The celery was a little on the crunchy side but it wasn't raw either. Probably depends on your slow cooker.

This recipe was a disappointment. 4 qts of broth and it had no taste. The second part of this recipe, after putting the chicken back in and adding the remaining celery was not enough time for the celery to cook.
