WHOLE CHICKEN IN THE SLOW COOKER - Serves 6
Syn Free
2kg whole chicken
2 onions, sliced into rings
Dried rub mix of :
1 tsp. of garlic powder
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. onion powder plus a pinch of salt
Combine the dried ingredients together.
Slash the skin of the chicken to allow some of the dried rub flavour to seep through as, unfortunately ladies, we won't be eating the skin!!
Rub the dried mixture well into the chicken, paying particular attention to the slashed areas.
Place the onion rings in the base of the slow cooker and place the chicken on top.
Cook on Low for 7-8 hours with the lid firmly shut.
Ensure the chicken is thoroughly cooked through before serving.
If you like, you can always put some potato pieces and other veg over the base and up the sides of the cooker and maybe pour a couple of tablespoons of hot chicken stock over. If not adding in any vegetables, it really doesn't need any liquid adding in as it just cooks in its own juices. Mmmm!
Just searched 'whole chicken' on the recipe site and came across this so going to make it tomorrow! bought a chicken and really want to use my slow cooker again as I've abandoned it since the weather got a little nicer Thanks Kathy. Will let you know how it goes! x
Thanks, slimmerem. I did a joint of brisket in mine last week, without any liquid and the taste was fab! Must admit, the first time I tried a joint/chicken without liquid, it was scary but it tastes so much better on its own. Sometimes I screw up a few balls of foil and sit it on them, if you'd prefer not to have it directly on the base of the cooker and that works well too. Anyway, enjoy! xx
