Recipe looked interesting, but I didn't know how to approach it after reading the reviews ranging from "disgusting" to "delicious." I used only chicken thighs with the skin and fat removed, added a bit more garlic and onion, some raw mushrooms, reduced thyme by 1/2 tsp, cooked on low for 7hrs. I ate it over brown rice. I'm with the "meh" to "disgusting" camp. Kids spit it out, husband ate it but said it was "dog food." Not sure what ruined it-thyme, wine, slow cooking? Never again. Sorry Martha!

I am totally stumped as to why people said this recipe didn't work in the slow cooker. Was your thyme really old? Did you not rub the chicken with coarse salt before browning it? Did you not use a sauvignon blanc as suggested? Did you use old gross garlic? I made this recipe as directed, did not change a thing, (except I did put the backbone into the pot because when I make stock I hate having the extra step of having to blanche the raw bones and because of this, kept it going for another 30 min) and it was just lovely. I used fresh thyme because I was worried my dried thyme was too old (used double the fresh of course because it's less potent than dried) and it tasted just perfectly lovely. Maybe people don't realize that you have to wash the chicken and rub it all over with kosher salt and pepper before browning? It was so easy to make, and it looked so pretty with the chopped parsley on it ... I'm making it again tomorrow night!!!

Update: the slow cooking is probably what ruined it. The wine should have been added to the skillet while the chicken was searing and the alcohol allowed to evaporate off. With slow cooking this doesn't happen and it ruins the taste of the dish. I also put too much thyme and garlic. But I'll never make this again--it was horrible.

I made this recipe tonight. I used the Dutch oven option. I didn't change a thing, followed the ingredients exactly, and I thought it was delicious. All of you haters are a bunch of pretentious bastards. Go eat a turd, it might be more flavorful for you bitchy pallets.

Why is it that Canadians can not enter your sweepstake for $25,000 towards a new kitchen? I am a fan of Martha's for a long time and feel we should be able to enter!

Would be much better to follow the receipe first time then make changes if you don't like original ingredients.... if you can't follow these simple directions then don't make the dish and don't post such awful comments.... goodness, take the time to learn how to cook or just stick with ready made foods!! t

I'm not sure what all the complainers here are talking about. I've made this at least 4 times now (following the recipe exactly) and my husband and I love it.

I made this recipe using the slow cooker and followed all instructions. I was excited to have it ready when I got home from work. When I walked in the door I first noticed a sour smell that was unappetizing. It is definitely edible and not a total waste, but I am not impressed with the flavor at all. I really wanted to like this dish, but will not be making it again. I had never cooked with white wine before so I didn't know what I was in for. Oops. I won't give up on you Martha Stewart.

This is literally the most disgusting recipe I've ever made. It wasn't even remotely edible, everything tasted like wine and flour and the sauce was like paste. I felt nauseous anytime I smelled white wine for days after this. Beware!

Made this recipe today and it was delicious. We found it flavorful - tasted garlic and wine. I was generous with salt and pepper on chicken before browning and on onions and garlic. Used Chardonnay.
