Herb-Garlic Slow Cooker Whole Chicken
Savor the comforting flavors of a slow-cooked whole chicken infused with fresh garlic, tangy lemon, and aromatic herbs. The chicken becomes tender and juicy as it simmers in its own savory juices, and the gentle infusion of rosemary and thyme creates a beautifully fragrant dish perfect for a satisfying dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1 whole chicken (approx 3 lb / 1360g)
1 tbsp olive oil
6 garlic cloves
1 lemon
1 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
1 tbsp fresh thyme (chopped)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the whole chicken under cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat if desired.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic (from 6 cloves), chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the chicken, and then rub the olive oil and herb mixture all over the chicken, ensuring even coverage, including inside the cavity.
Place the seasoned chicken into the slow cooker. If desired, place a few lemon slices inside the cavity to intensify the citrus flavor.
Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 5-6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Carve into portions; this recipe yields approximately 4 servings.
