I love cooking a whole chicken in my crockpot! Super easy to throw it in and let it cook. AND as a bonus we always have leftover chicken to use in making another dish the next night! So here’s my new favorite way to cook a chicken!
Ingredients:
- 4 lemons
- 2-3 heads of garlic
- 1 whole chicken 4 to 5 pounds
- Fresh rosemary
- All-purpose steak seasoning or salt and pepper
Instructions:
- Cut garlic heads and lemons in half and lay in bottom of crockpot.
- Cut the bottoms off the lemons so they lay flat.
- Add a sprig of rosemary, or any herbs.
- Remove insides from chicken, rinse chicken and pat dry.
- Season chicken well, inside and out, with all-purpose steak seasoning or salt and pepper.
- Lay chicken on top of garlic and lemon slices and stuff the chicken with a garlic head cut in half, and a lemon cut in quarters.
- Cover top of chicken with additional lemon slices and rosemary.
- Turn slow cooker to low, and cook for about 4 hours, or until chicken reaches 165 degrees.
*No need to add any liquid in during the cooking process. Just look at the picture above…all that juice is from the chicken cooking! This chicken is super moist!
