Everytime I cook chicken in my crockpot, with water and spices - it ends up having a gray film on it. Any ideas what that is, or why it is happening?

soak your hands in water for an hour and you will see how grey they look too.

As the cells on the surface fill with hot water, it oxidizes the iron in the blood cells. the flesh looses it's transparent quality throughout. The meat on the top is not surrounded by addtional meat allowing more water to interact with the cells. In addition the surface of the meat is cooked more than the inside as it is closer to the source of the heat (convection) , and the cells go under more thermal process.

now that grey film is the rsult of inside fluids, which contains solids of the blood, wicking away the moisture and depositing that solids on the surface from where it came. Part of the physics include static charges which allow the diffrences of the soilds and water to be desposited either on the chicken (high density particles) or join the lower density water convecting as either steam or water.

The water line, where the chicken meets the waterline, will show that the chicken below that mark will have less soilds which are convected away, abive the marke there may be less than at the water line where that grey goop can condense.

The same grey of the goop is the same grey inside the top layer of cells.
are you washing your chicken before you put it in the crockpot? i used to get that when i cooked chicken, but i'm pretty sure when i started rinsing it it disappeared- i don't know, give it a shot
Fat! Its the fat that has come from cooking the chicken. Nasty lookin stuff isnt it? lol
