We’ve been relying on a new recipe lately. I had seen some variations on Pinterest, and most call for roasting the chicken even more in the oven to get a crispier skin. I don’t do that. I don’t eat the skin on chicken and I don’t quite have time. I’m lucky if I can get the chicken out of the slow cooker without falling apart. (It’s SUPER tender.)
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken
Spices of your choosing. I really like this Weber’s seasoning I found at Sam’s Club a couple years ago. We use it often
4 lemons
Rub the chicken with the spices.
Slice the lemons. Put a few slices on the bottom of the slow cooker, and then cover your chicken in lemon slices. I usually stuff the chicken with 2-4 slices.
Cook on low for 8 hours.
Done. See how easy that is? It takes only a few minutes to prep either at night or in the morning, and it’s super simple and tasty. My son is picky about chicken, and he’ll eat this.
What is your go-to slow cooker recipe? And is it fast to prep? I’m finding that I am relying more and more on my slow cooker, and the more I can do the night before, the better for everyone.
I don’t eat chicken, but I love the ease of cooking this and using it through the week! Great way to make life easier and save money!
I am a fan of anything we can make in our crock pot! This sounds amazing.
super easy! love that! I could do that for my childcare kids!
go to crockpot recipe is beef rump roast + onion soup mix+cream soup mix+worchestershire + water=amazingggggggg
I have saved your recipe – and will make adjustments, since I don’t use a crockpot – but maybe I need to think about that!!! Thank you
That sounds delicious!
Oh yum I need to try more things in my slow cooker so I will have to give this a whirl 🙂 x
Looks great! Whenever I have cooked a whole chicken in my crockpot it all falls apart and the bones mix in with the meat, I think I am cooking it too long.
I love Weber spices and I love how you placed lemons all over the chicken. I’ve also never made a whole chicken in my slow cooker. Seems easy enough.
I love chicken with the tartness of lemon! I need a crockpot!!
The lemons are a really good touch! This would be great to make for when my children fly in hungry!
Yum. This sounds like a nice dinner to come home to after being out all day int his cold.
I can’t wait to try to replicate this recipe in my slow cooker. It is so convenient for a Working Mom.
lemon and chicken go so well together, I love how it really enhances the flavors!
How easy is that? I need to do this instead of picking up a rotisserie any time I’m craving some chicken. I bet it tastes delicious!
Our slow cooker has dust on it. I think it is time to bust it out.
This looks delicious! I’ve never used a slow cooker before but this may be a good time to start!
I’ve never made a whole chicken in the crockpot. This sounds like a super easy way to cook it though!
I love to cook a whole chicken in my slow cooker. I like to cut up some potatoes and put them in foil under the chicken. THey get nice and juicy and flavorful!
Yum. I love making while chickens in the snow Cooker. I really love making anything in the slow cooker. My meal of choice though is for sure chicken pot pie soup in the cooker.
That sounds so good! Quick & easy as well!
This is a really great recipe. I’m always looking for slow cooker recipes.
Looks yummy! I bet it came out great and was delicious
This looks great and I just bought a new big slow cooker so I will have to give it a try. And we love chicken so I know it will go over well.
I like anything that can go right in the crock pot. This sounds like chicken my family would like too!
This is great really simple and tasty I will have to give this a go.
I love CROCK POT COOKING. Easy and delicious sounds like a great combo.
I haven’t have a slow cooker chicken in a long time. I think it’s about time! That’s exactly how I make mine!
I love my slow cooker. Perfect meals and easy to make. I love how you added lemons. Makes the chicken tasty
I have never done a whole chicken in my slow cooker before and with only 3 ingredients this is awesome! Thank you. I might just try and do this on the weekend.
i’m a wimp when it comes to de-boning things.
J could do that – but this is also so tender, that the chicken just falls off. (I hateeeeeee chicken on the bone!) YOU MUST TRY THIS RECIPE! 😉
Oh I bet this tastes delicious. I don’t usually make entire chickens though.
I was just thinking about doing a whole chicken in my slow cooker. Thanks for the recipe i will have to try it. I love using my slow cooker.
It’s been a while since I have roasted a whole chicken. That blend of seasonings looks fantastic!
Whole chicken is one of the most budget friendly foods in my house. I just can’t make a whole one in the crockpot though. It’s a texture thing for me. I slow roast it in the oven. We’ll eat it like that for the first meal, then separate bones and skin. I’ll boil the bones and skin for chicken stock. We use the meat to either make homemade chicken noodle soup (making our own noodles) or chicken and dumplings.
I love my slow cooker. I have never attempted a whole chicken before but this recipe is on my must cook and must try list.
I’ve never thought of making a whole chicken in the slow cooker before. I can see it turned out nice and juicy! Yum!
I have been searching high and low for chicken recipes and the fact that this is a slow cooker one, count me in!
