unsure as to how it will turn out!
I put it in this morning, so now its 8 1/2 hours later.surely that will be long enough!
And i didnt elevate it at all, so its sitting there bubbling away in its own fat and juices, to be honest it smells like chicken thats been defrosted in microwave.if you know that smell.
Any thoughts on if its going to turn out ok!

It will turn out like a boiled/poached/streamed chicken. you cant "roast" in a crock pot. it will taste like it smells. stewed.

Probably too late now, but in future put your chicken on a bed of crumpled tinfoil, and then place the veges on top of extra pieces of crumpled foil (so there sitting a bit higher than the bottom of the chicken.) around the side and edges of the crockpot. A quick burst under the hot grill before servingwill also crisp it all, if necessary, before serving, but it should already be quite moist and crispy, like a rotisserie chicken, if you use this method.
