Is this like the potato salad thing but done after that and with chicken?

You're wasting our time. That crock pot can do better than just a chicken.

I like that you provided a funding level at which the cost exceeds your project target.

No stretch goals?
Side dishes?
Napkins!

Am I to understand there will be no side dishes?

You do realize you can get a whole chicken for between 5 and 7 dollars, throw it in that crock pot with a little salt and pepper along with a box of chicken broth and less than $10 your done

Fair warning, crock pot chicken can turn out pretty poor. crock pot ribs on the other hand....

In reply to Kendall_Jones:

Best way: "country ribs" with a metric ton of of onions and carrots, many whole garlic cloves jammed between the pieces of meat. Make gravy from the juices when done. I do mine in an old electric skillet.

You could do a nice pork shoulder or my favorite, sauerbraten.

I'm in for a tenner if he catches it himself.

Whole chicken is best done in a pressure cooker... And takes about 30 min

You're going to have to cook more than one and invite us all for dinner. Kick the fund up to $500 and cook dinner for everyone that donates to it at the Challenge.

Im wondering how you got that past kickstarter as a project in the first place they are usually pretty strict

Tom Suddard

I have no idea who that was, but thank you! Finally, I'll be able to bring my chicken to the world!

Kickstarter is quite strict, but I read the rules carefully. Plus, I'm sure they know how much better the world will be once this project is complete.

Please give now and give often, we need you.

Please. I would never spend $15 on a crockpot chicken, even if it was cooked by my son. Well, especially if it was cooked by my son... and for this. I don't want to encourage him in any way, or next thing I know he'll be trying to crowd fund everything. (I know that most parents spend their time trying to encourage their kids, but Tom is a special case.)
