Herbed Lemon Chicken in a Crock Pot / Slow Cooker image

This is a lemon herb garlic chicken dish which is made in a slow cooker to contain it's natural flavours. When we served it the meat fell away from the bone. If you wish to increase the celery and carrot you may do so without dramatically change the flavour of the dish. I normally remove the skin off the drumstick, which I recommended with this dish but feel free to leave it on. Everyone enjoyed it in our house hold, hope you will enjoy it.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (4-pound) chicken
3 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, stems discarded before measuring, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zested, then juiced
8 potatoes (ideally Yukon gold), halved

Steps:

  • Rearrange oven racks so that the bird can be placed in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
  • Discard giblets (and any other foreign objects) that you find inside the bird. Rinse bird under cold water, then pat dry. Rub generously with salt, inside and out.
  • In a small bowl, blend butter, pepper, rosemary, garlic and lemon zest. Rub the butter mixture all over the birds. Use your fingers to separate the skin from the breast meat and slide some of the mixture underneath the skin. Cross the legs and bind with twine.
  • Place potatoes, cut side down in a large shallow roasting pan, or some facsimile. Perch bird atop potatoes. Roast for 30 minutes. Remove to baste and squeeze juice of 1/2 lemon overtop. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees F. Roast for 60 more minutes, or until the juices of the thigh meat run clear when pricked. If bird begins to burn on top, cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Squeeze other lemon 1/2 overtop, then cover tightly with aluminum foil, and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving (this locks in the juices).

Tips:

  • Prep the Chicken: Rinse and pat dry the chicken to remove any excess moisture. This helps the seasonings adhere better and ensures even cooking.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and oregano add a burst of flavor to the chicken. If using dried herbs, use about 1/3 of the amount.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Generously coat the chicken with salt, pepper, and herbs to ensure it's flavorful throughout.
  • Don't Crowd the Pot: Place the chicken pieces in a single layer in the crock pot. Overcrowding can prevent even cooking and result in soggy chicken.
  • Add Vegetables: For a complete meal, add vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and onions to the crock pot along with the chicken. They'll cook in the flavorful broth and make a delicious side dish.
  • Cook on Low: Cooking the chicken on low heat for 6-8 hours allows the flavors to meld and the chicken to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Check the Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving.
  • Let it Rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and juicy chicken.

This Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken Crock Pot recipe is a delightful and hassle-free way to enjoy a flavorful and tender chicken dish.
