How to make a thick sauce in slow cook pot?
I like my slow cooked food. chicken or pork.
I make a stock with chicken oxo cube. add a bit of wine, and plain flour and in a frying pan. then keep adding more flour and stock, until the pan is full, then transfer to the slow cook pot.
but when the pot is ready the juice always seems to be runny and not thick - which is how I would like it
any tips please

Thicken with cornflour if the end resulting sauce is too thin, take all the meat out and set aside while you do it. With the sauce at the right consistency add the meat back in.
Don't forget you will need to cook the cornflour out or else the sauce could have a flourey taste.
Or start off with a thicker sauce, so that as it cooks out the extra moisture created in the slow cooker will thin it down so hopefully ending up with the right consistency sauce.
If the is still not thick enough after cooking for a bit then I'd dip out a cup - whisk in one or two tablespoons of cornflour - then pour back in and cook to completion
or if your sauce needs a boost of flavour then gravy granuels.
