Seriously Garlic Crock Pot Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. In batches, cook chicken, skin side down, until skin is golden brown, about 4 minutes.
• Combine onion, garlic, and thyme in a 5-to-6-quart slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Top with chicken, skin side up, in a tight layer. In a small bowl, whisk together wine and flour until smooth and add to slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until chicken is tender, about 3 1/2 hours (or 7 hours on low). Cook couscous according to package instructions. Serve chicken and sauce over couscous, sprinkled with parsley.

Steps:

• separate the garlic into unpeeled cloves, layer in bottom of crock pot.
• wash and dry chickens inside and out, discard or reserve innards and necks.
• rub chickens thoroughly with Italian seasoning, inside and out.
• place 3 stalks of cilantro inside each chicken.
• tie or net chickens, and place in crock pot.
• top with 3-5 stalks of cilantro.
• cook 7-10 hours on low, 6-8 hours on high, removing some juice half way through to prevent overflow.
• remove chickens to a platter.
• squeeze roasted garlic out of peel, and combine with softened butter.
• spread on thickly sliced french or Italian bread, and broil until melted and slightly toasted.
• top with grated cheese if desired.
• Thickened with milk and flour, the juice makes wonderful gravy for mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture into chicken. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken in butter for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Place chicken in a slow cooker.
• In the same skillet, mix the water, lemon juice, garlic, and bouillon. Bring the mixture to boil. Pour over the chicken in the slow cooker.
• Cover, and cook on High for 3 hours, or Low for 6 hours. Add the parsley to the slow cooker 15 to 30 minutes before the end of the cook time.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add onion over the top of the potatoes.
• Remove the chicken parts inside the cavity and pat the outside of the chicken dry. Slice deep, garlic clove-width slits into your chicken with a knife. Make 4 cuts on each side of the chicken, and 1 in each of the drumsticks. Stick a sliver of garlic deep into each cut. Place the remaining chunks of garlic into the cavity.
• Starting on the back of the chicken, season generously with about 1/2 of the rosemary and cracked salt and pepper. Add some seasoning inside the chicken's cavity as well. Flip the chicken and place it breast side up in the slow cooker on top of the potatoes and onions. Season the top of the chicken generously with the remaining rosemary and more cracked salt and pepper.
• Cook on Low until the chicken is cooked through completely and the juices run clear when the chicken is cut, 8 to 10 hours, depending on the size. Serve with the potatoes and onions from the pot.
