Slow Cooked Super Garlicky Chicken

Based on recipe from Food.com

I used a 7-8 qt slow cooker.

Ingredients: 
2-3 lbs chicken (I prefer dark meat with bones but anything works)
20+ whole garlic cloves (I prefer peeled and have used fresh and frozen—I usually cover the bottom of the slow cooker with garlic cloves)
Chicken broth
I bag frozen kale

Spices: 
Dried rosemary
Salt & pepper
Red pepper flakes

Directions: 
1. Place garlic cloves in crock pot.
2. Place chicken on top of garlic cloves.
3. Sprinkle spices to cover chicken. (Salt well. You can play with other spices a bit. I’ve used herbs of provance, garlic salt with parsley, just rosemary, etc. Could be good with cumin or curry. Caution with red pepper flakes—it can get spicy.)
4. Add frozen kale on top. 
5. Pour chicken broth over all ingredients. Typically I use 2 cups. I’ve also used a full carton (4 cups). Depends how much liquid you want.
6. Cook on high for 4 hours. (I don’t like cooking chicken on low—I don’t like the texture you end up with.)
