This is by far the easiest way to cook a whole chicken. I love that I can put the entire thing together at night and then turn on the slow cooker in the morning. I have a delicious, fragrant chicken waiting in my house when I get home.  The slow cooker does not get the credit is deserves. I try to use mine as much as possible!! Use this chicken to make my Rosemary Chicken Salad or eat it with some couscous from a box and green salad for a perfect weeknight dinner.   
1 4-5 pound whole chicken
1 lemon sliced
4-6 Rosemary sprigs
4 garlic cloves
1 cup chicken stock
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon course black pepper
Remove giblets from chicken and pat chicken dry with a towel.  Loosen the skin from the chicken and place the lemon slices between the skin and breast. Stuff the chicken with garlic and rosemary sprigs. Pour chicken stock in the slow cooker bowl. Place chicken on top of stock and sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Turn slow cooker on low and cook for 8-10 hours. Below is what you will be eating for dinner! Yummmm!
This looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it!
Thanks Anne!! Let me know how it turns out.
Hi – I am just now starting to cook whole chickens in the slow cooker. Why do you need the chicken stock? I am trying to keep it as simple as possible yet still add a bit of flavor. I don’t have lemons on hand but I do have fresh herbs – rosemary and thyme. Also, do you put it in the cooker breast side down? Thanks
You need the chicken stock to add moisture while cooking. You can use water but the chicken stock adds more flavor. You do not have to use the lemons but the herbs are fine. I put the chicken in legs, thighs and breast up.
will this work if i add red potatoes and green beans?
Yes it should work with potatoes but I am not sure about the green beans. They could get too mushy. I would cook the beans seperatly. I hope this helps!
