place 3 stalks of cilantro inside each chicken.
tie or net chickens, and place in crock pot.
top with 3-5 stalks of cilantro.
cook 7-10 hours on low, 6-8 hours on high, removing some juice half way through to prevent overflow.
remove chickens to a platter.
squeeze roasted garlic out of peel, and combine with softened butter.

Thickened with milk and flour, the juice makes wonderful gravy for mashed potatoes.

Made for PAC 06. This is delicious! My photos do not do justice to the recipe. Very garlicky! Very good! Suggest that it is removed from the crock pot after 4 hours and finished in the oven. Mine almost fell apart transfering it to oven to brown. SOOOO TASTY! And the garicky gravy I made from the dripping was delish! Thanks for posting!!!
