Slow Cooker Whole Chicken With Lemon Recipes

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!

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Combine the oregano, seasoned salt and pepper; rub over chicken. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken in butter; transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add water, lemon juice, garlic and bouillon to the skillet; bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits. Pour over chicken. , Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Baste chicken with cooking juices. Add parsley. Cover and cook 15-30 minutes longer or until meat juices run clear. Serve with rice. (If desired, cooking juices may be thickened before serving.)

Steps:

• Place carrots and onion in the cavity of the chicken. Rub the skin with butter and place in the slow cooker.
• Cut lemon in half and squeeze juice all over the chicken. Cut juiced lemon halves into wheels and place around chicken. Sprinkle parsley, salt, poultry seasoning, thyme, and paprika over top.
• Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or High for 4 to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels, and use your fingers to loosen the skin over the breast and thighs.
• Stir butter and lemon pepper in a small bowl and insert seasoned butter beneath the loosened skin using a teaspoon. Push butter from spoon using the skin. Place lemon slice and garlic cloves into the chicken cavity.
• Place chicken into a slow cooker. Rub skin with olive oil and sprinkle seasoned salt, thyme, and cracked black pepper over the bird.
• Cook on High for 3 hours; reduce heat to Low and cook until chicken is very tender and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 2 to 3 more hours. If desired, cook bird on Low setting 6 to 8 hours.

Steps:

• Remove skin from chicken, and empty inner cavity of contents within. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel, and place inside the slow cooker.
• In a bowl, stir together the chicken broth, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Pour mixture over chicken, and cover.
• Cook chicken on low setting for 8 hours, or 4 hours on high setting.

Steps:

• Rinse chicken well and pat dry; remove any excess fat. Place onion in the cavity and rub skin with butter. Place in the bottom of a slow cooker.
• Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley, salt, paprika, and thyme leaves. Cover and cook on Low until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 8 to 9 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add the garlic and rice. Add the lemon juice to the water and stir. Pour this mixture over the rice and chicken. Stir once to coat. Place the lid on the slow cooker and set on low for 8 hours. To plate, place a serving of the rice on each plate and top with 1 chicken breast. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs.

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:

• 1. Spray the insert to the Slow Cooker with cooking spray. I like to use the Slow Cooker liners, so I sprayed the inside of the liner.
• 2. Place a metal trivet (I used the one that came with my Instant Pot) in the center of the Slow Cooker. You can also make a metal ring out of aluminum foil.
• 3. Removed the giblets and rinse and pat the chicken dry.
• 4. Rub bacon grease on the chicken and sprinkle liberally with seasoning.
• 5. Stuff the onion quarters and lemon quarters inside the cavity.
• 6. Place the chicken in the Slow Cooker breast side up.
• 7. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
• 8. Remove chicken from Slow Cooker and place on a baking dish. I did this by placing tongs underneath the trivet and through the cavity to not disturb the skin.
• 9. Place chicken in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes (or until the skin is crispy and brown). If using a broiler safe dish you can broil for 5 minutes instead.
