Time 4h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (3 1/2) pound fryer chicken
1 apple
1 cup apple juice
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the inside of the chicken. Put the whole apple inside the chicken cavity and place chicken into a slow cooker, breast-side down. Pour apple juice around chicken.
  • Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 6 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the slow cooker, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. The apples added a nice sweetness and the spices gave it a nice flavor.

This recipe is easy to follow and the results are amazing. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the apples are perfectly caramelized. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal.
