Rinse your 4 lb bird & pat dry with paper towels. Put her in your slow cooker. |
In the cavity of the bird, put in a Bay Leaf, some onion (I use dehydrated onion) and some sage (optional). |
Next you'll need: garlic salt, garlic powder, paprika or Emeril's, pepper, lemon pepper, thyme, basil, parsley, 2 Tablespoons butter and a lemon cut in half. |
Squeeze the lemon halves over the chicken. |
Spread the butter over the chicken. I melt the butter & pour it over - it seems easier to me :) |
Now sprinkle all those herbs & spices over the top. No need to measure! |
Cook for at least 6 hours on low. You could go 7 hours without a problem. |
Here's the finished chicken! The meat usually falls off the bone! |
I set my rice cooker so that we have rice to accompany the chicken and then make a salad or veggie. |
