Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) whole chicken
¼ cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ sprig fresh thyme

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).

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the lemon sauce was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect solution. The chicken was reheated in the lemon sauce, and it was just as good as when it was first cooked.

This is one of my favorite chicken recipes. The lemon sauce is so light and refreshing, and the chicken is always cooked perfectly. I usually serve it over rice or pasta, but it's also great on its own.
