Lemon & Garlic Whole Chicken in your crockpot!

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:
  1. Cut garlic heads and lemons in half and lay in bottom of crockpot.
  2. Cut the bottoms off the lemons so they lay flat.
  3. Add a sprig of rosemary, or any herbs.
  4. Remove insides from chicken, rinse chicken and pat dry.
  5. Season chicken well, inside and out, with all-purpose steak seasoning or salt and pepper.
  6. 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.
  7. Cover top of chicken with additional lemon slices and rosemary.
  8. 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!
