Cook Time 4 minutes
Total Time 4 minutes

Ingredients  

  • 1 4-pound whole chicken
  • 2-3 thyme sprigs
  • 1 lemon, cut in half
  • kosher salt

Instructions 

  • Stuff the chicken with the thyme and lemon halves and sprinkle the outside with salt.
  • Cook on high for 3 hours (increase time to 4 hours for a 5 pound chicken).
  • Using a meat thermometer, make sure the chicken is cooked to 160 degrees (the times on different slow cookers may vary).
  • Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before cutting it into pieces (this allows the juices to redistribute and the chicken to remain extremely juicy).
  • Note: The skin on the chicken won’t be golden because this is more of a steaming method, but the meat will be outrageously moist, tender and juicy.
