1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
2 lemons, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
2. Place the lemon slices and minced garlic inside the cavity of the chicken.
3. Rub the dried Italian herbs all over the outside of the chicken.
4. Place the chicken in the slow cooker, breast side up.
5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
6. Once done, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before carving.
Variations & Tips
For a bit of extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the slow cooker before cooking. If you prefer a bit of spice, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the chicken before cooking. You can also experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, to suit your taste. If you’re short on time, you can use chicken pieces instead of a whole chicken, which will reduce the cooking time to about 4-5 hours on low.
