A whole chicken is seasoned with lemon pepper, garlic, and thyme, then slow-cooked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1 (1-inch thick) slice of lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 pinch cracked black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels, and use your fingers to loosen the skin over the breast and thighs.
Step 2
Stir butter and lemon pepper in a small bowl and insert seasoned butter beneath the loosened skin using a teaspoon. Push butter from spoon using the skin. Place lemon slice and garlic cloves into the chicken cavity.
Step 3
Place chicken into a slow cooker. Rub skin with olive oil and sprinkle seasoned salt, thyme, and cracked black pepper over the bird.
Step 4
Cook on High for 3 hours; reduce heat to Low and cook until chicken is very tender and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 2 to 3 more hours. If desired, cook bird on Low setting 6 to 8 hours.
