A Slow Cooker Whole Chicken makes a roast dinner so much easier and leaves your oven free for those crispy roasted veggies. Shred this chicken up and use in meals throughout the week.
Roll up three pieces of aluminium foil into balls and place them at the bottom of the slow cooker pot.
Place the whole chicken on top of the foil balls.
Mix together the dressing ingredients.
Cover the chicken with the dressing.
Cook for 7-8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
Notes
Make different flavoured chicken with your favourite spice blend, like fajita of Cajun.
This recipe is for a medium sized chicken, however that might be too big for your slow cooker, so check the size.
Shred the chicken up and us it in meals for the rest of the week.
Don't skip the foil ball step, as it stops the chicken from steaming in its juices
If you want crispy skin, put the whole chicken under the grill for 5 minutes after it has finished cooking.
Save the juices to make a gravy with.
Be careful when lifting the chicken out of the slow cooker as it will try to fall apart. Try to get someone to help you and using spatulas all around it, slowly lift it out.
