With the weather changing, hubby thought he’d give the crockpot a go and did some experimenting with overnight cooking, Papa’s Crockpot Herb-Chicken Wraps:

For the meal, hubby mixed chopped fresh basil and rosemary, olive oil, dried tarragon flakes, white pepper, minced garlic paste, freshly-squeezed shikwasa juice, and chicken broth granules; poured the mixture over frozen chicken wings placed in the bottom of a crockpot; and cooked on low for 16 hours. Once done, the chicken meat literally fell off the bones. Hubby drained the liquid (sort of) from the chicken with a spoon; seperated the meat from the bones; and placed the meat in heated tortillas lined with iceberg lettuce and cheddar cheese. As an accompaniment, he added whole cherry tomatoes.
