The first time I tested this recipe in the crockpot, a heavenly smell permeated the house all night. One of my guests wanted to know if I was serving chicken for breakfast, on a Tuesday morning, because he was willing to forgo his coffee!! It’s that good. I gave you two sets of instructions below, for regular baking and for a slow cooker, making it perfect for the day of a Chol Hamoed outing. Thanks, Shoshi! Check out our complete collection of Rosh Hashanah recipes for mains, sides, soups, desserts, and more inspiration for the holiday.
6 chicken quarters, halved
3/4 cup ketchup (I used mostly regular ketchup and 2–3 tablespoons hot ketchup)
1 tablespoon Gefen Honey
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
pinch of salt
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup sweet white wine (you can use a slightly effervescent one like Bartenura Moscato, like I did)
1 teaspoon MSG-free chicken soup mix, dissolved in 1/2 cup water
Clean chicken, wash, and pat dry. Mix all sauce ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
To bake in the oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour half the sauce into a roasting pan. Add chicken, skin-side down. Pour remaining sauce over chicken. Bake covered for 1 and 1/2 hours. Uncover and bake another 1/2 an hour.
To cook in a slow cooker: Place chicken in a slow cooker. Pour sauce over chicken, taking care that all pieces are smothered in sauce. Turn slow cooker to low and cook for eight hours. (I like my chicken fall-off-the-bone soft. You might find 6 hours to be sufficient.) Serve over rice.

Succulent Chicken sounds yum! would it be okay if i left out the raisins?
Absolutely.
How do you make this in a crock pot for Shabbos if it only cooks for 8 hours?

This sounds like it would have a sweet-&-sour profile — YUM!! I wonder how it would work with skinless chicken or chicken breast …?
Yes, it should work with any chicken cut.
Does it have a vinegar taste at all? My husband doesn’t like vinegar but is OK with it as long as he doesn’t taste it. And, I’m assuming it’s regular white vinegar?
I have not tried this specific recipe before but usually, the strong vinegar flavor gets cooked out in the oven. It also only has 1 tbsp so I don’t think it would be very strong. Yes, it is regular white vinegar.
Delicious Everyone loved! Such an easy to make and beautiful to serve dish!
Thank you.
