1 cup baby carrots
½ cup chopped onion
1 (4 pound) roasting chicken
1 tablespoon salted butter, or more as needed
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Place carrots and onion in the cavity of the chicken. Rub the skin with butter and place in the slow cooker.

I was a little skeptical about cooking a whole chicken in the slow cooker, but I'm so glad I tried it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender.
