Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed
ΒΌ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 (1-inch thick) slice of lemon
2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed, or more to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 pinch cracked black pepper to taste

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.
