LEMON GARLIC SLOW COOK CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY



Lemon Garlic Slow Cook Chicken Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: whole chicken, lemons, garlic, fresh rosemary, salt, pepper

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole chicken, based on the size of your slow cooker - a 1.3kg chicken should just about fit into a 3.5L slow cooker - while a 6.5L would probably fit a 2kg chicken
4 lemons
10 cloves garlic, 8 whole and 2 halved
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Remove any giblets etc. from the cavity of the chicken, sometimes in a small bag.
  • Stuff chicken with 1 sprig of rosemary, 1 lemon (quartered) and 4 cloves garlic.
  • Season all sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Remove both ends of a lemon, cut in half to create very thick slices.
  • Line the bottom of the slow cooker with 4 lemon slices, 4 whole garlic cloves and a sprig of rosemary.
  • Put the chicken in the slow cooker.
  • Cut 2 garlic cloves in half and put all four pieces on top of the chicken along with the 2 remaining lemon slices.
  • Garnish with 1-2 more sprigs of rosemary. Put the lid on the slow cooker and set to high for 4 hours.
  • Place cooked chicken under the grill (broil) for 10 minutes to crisp the skin (optional).
  • Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Leftover juices in the slow cooker are mostly lemon juice with a bit of chicken fat and can be used sparingly as a strongly flavoured sauce.
  • Enjoy!
