1 cup apple juice

aluminum foil

2
Cover slow cooker. Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 6 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near but not touching the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a cutting board, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
