You should not cook anything frozen in a crock-pot according to the instruction’s that came with mine. This is because the temperature they cook at is not hot enough to kill off all bacteria but is just the right temp to help them multiply and increases your risk of food poisoning.

Not a good idea. You want the water up to temp quickly or you are creating a nice warm bath for bacteria to multiply like crazy. Even though the hot water would kill the bacteria eventually, there are some nuero-toxins created as a byproduct of the bacteria multiplying that are not destroyed by heat. I would strongly recommend that you give them about 20-25 minutes in a 350 F oven, then transfer them to the crock and add boiling water. It is more than your crock can safely handle from frozen or raw. But the headstart in the oven and boiling water will get you into the safe zone quickly. Using the oven first gives them more flavor too.

You may want to mix them up in position if your able, and make sure you use a meat thermometer to ensure they have hit the proper temp for chicken, the meat thermometer will have lines for meats min temps on it. You should be fine if you monitor the temp before consuming.
