Slow Roasted Whole Chicken image

Overnight marinading and slow-roasting is the secret to this flavorful tender chicken! Plan ahead the chicken needs to marinade a minimum of 8 hours or 24 hours. If you are not a garlic-lover then omit the fresh garlic in the cavity of the chicken. This recipe can also be done using a larger roasting chicken although cooking time will need to be increased, or make a couple of chickens, you will have two make two separate spice mixtures in two small bowls for two chickens.

I like to add a little bit of white wine to the slow cooker. It helps to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
