Chicken and Dumplings

1 whole chicken (~5 lbs) - pull off skin, cut into thighs & legs (leave bones in) and breasts (get bones out).  Save skin & bones - include wings in the pile of skin & bones.
1 bunch celery, cleaned and chopped
1 small bag carrots, cleaned, peeled, & chopped (<1 cm^3)
1 onion
1/2 bulb garlic, peeled & crushed
1 tbsp pepper
1 tbsp salt
thyme
sage
1 c broth

Put chicken & broth on bottom, followed by spices, then vegetables.  Put skin & bones on top so they can be removed easily.  Cook on high for four hours, until skin & bones are cooked through.  You will have to pull off about 1 c of liquid while it cooks to keep from overflowing.

Remove the bones & skin - you can pull the wing meat off if desired.  And pull out the chicken.  Set aside.

Add juice overflow back.

Make 1.5 batches of buttermilk biscuits and make into ~1" diameter "biscuits".  Put in crock pot and cook on high another 30 minutes.  Next time recommend 1 batch.
