I got this idea from a page on Facebook. I don't know the name of the person who posted it, but it really sounds like a GREAT idea! I have not tried this yet, but the next time I find chicken on sale I'm definitely gonna give it a try! Try it out and let me know what you think!
CROCKPOT “DUMP” CHICKEN
We call it "DUMP-CHICKEN" because you DUMP the mix into a 1-gallon freezer baggie with the chicken and freeze it. Then when you want to eat it, you thaw overnight in the fridge, DUMP it into your crockpot, and cook it!
All the recipes can be made with approximately 1 to 1.5 pounds of chicken (4 to 8 pieces of chicken, any pieces will do... wings, thighs, drumsticks, bone-in, skin-on, boneless, skinless). Use boneless/skinless chicken breasts to keep it healthier. This is a perfect way to take advantage of chicken that’s on sale! Prep it all when you get home from the grocery store, put it in the freezer, and you have several (or many) meals ready to go in the crockpot!
Dump the contents of the bag in your crockpot and cook on low for approximately 6 to 8 hours.
(You may have to adjust the time for your own taste preferences, the pieces of chicken you are using, the other ingredients or your own crockpot as some pots cook hotter than others. I always recommend the first time you should follow the recipe as written, and then you can make adjustments the next time to fit your preferences.)

I always have a hard time remembering to thaw chicken in time to marinate it before I cook it--this way it's marinated already--what a good idea!
