I certainly don't see why it wouldn't work. Like you said, keep the seasonings basic. It might be interesting to add some orange juice to the crockpot - even use that as your liquid. I put a bit of orange juice and lemon juice in my chicken salad and this would impart, IMHO, a great flavor to the little birds I can name a host of herbs that would be good but that can always be done when you make the salad - but you already know those anyway.
I would leave the skin on for cooking purposes. Much more flavorful and tender IMHO. The herb that is coming to mind the most for me right now is tarragon - don't ask why - it just is!
Has anyone tried cooking game hens in a slow cooker? Any tips? I need to free up the freezer & the oven will be tied up. Thought I'd turn it into chicken salad - so minimal seasonings preferred. (Don't care for the skin.) TIA
not much to do with the slow coker, but this reminded me of He**s Kitchen last night...
A guy made a game hen and stuffed it in a small, roasted pumpkin.
Gordon found it completely ridiculous. I thought it was cute, but too much of a pain to serve in a restaurant.

Save the skin for Marty. mmmmmmButterfly and grill. Then remove the skin.
