Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 5 lb. whole chicken
  • 5 small Yukon Gold Potatoes (cut in half length-wise (see info below))
  • 4 Tbsp. melted butter
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)

Instruction

  • In a 6-quart slow cooker, add the potatoes on the bottom evenly. I had to cut mine in half length wise because my chicken was so large, if your chicken is smaller (like 4-5 lbs. you may not have to cut the potatoes).
  • Remove everything from the cavity of the chicken (necks bone etc.) and discard.
  • Put the chicken on top of the potatoes. If you have extra potatoes halves, you can tuck them around the chicken.
  • Pour the butter over the chicken. Sprinkle on the pepper, salt, basil, oregano, thyme and garlic cloves over the chicken.
  • Cover, and cook on LOW for 8 hours. Do Not Open the lid while this is cooking or the chicken will not cook correctly!
