Add a photoI've made many chickens in the oven. Also many Cornish hens, ducks and geese. However, yesterday, I decided to try an experiment and make a beautiful 8 lb. chicken in the crock pot. Oh...what an easy way to cook...or not cook. Is it being lazy? Well, maybe...or maybe not...the taste at the end is the tell-tale sign of the minimal effort which resulted a robust and succulent chicken (did I say that? a succulent chicken))....Anyway......here goes...
Ingredients
- 1 chicken, 6-8 lbs
- 2 stalks of celery, sliced into 1/2" pieces
- 2 carrots, also sliced into 1/2" pieces
- 1 onion, sliced thin, also 1/2" pieces
- 1 lemon, again sliced into 1/2" pieces
- 1 lime, sliced into 1/2" pieces (are we getting bored yet?)
- 2 sprigs of fresh parsley
- 2 sprigs of fresh sage
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 2 cups of chicken stock, preferably homemade
Directions
- First, remove giblets (another recipe for giblets somewhere else) and wash chicken.
- Let chicken sit for a few minutes. After a "bath" it's always good to rest a little.
- Next, Place all of the celery, carrots, onion, lemon and lime slices on the bottom of the crock pot.
- Then, stuff the chicken with the parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme herbs. Feel free to sing the song while doing this. I do.
- Finally, place the chicken in the crock pot atop of the beautiful bed of vegetables. Add the chicken stock.
- Cook on High setting for 6 hours.
- That's it. Crock pot chicken (or lazy chicken?). Done to perfection. Really
