How to Make It
1. Step
Remove any giblets etc. from the cavity of the chicken, sometimes in a small bag.
2. Step
Stuff chicken with 1 sprig of rosemary, 1 lemon (quartered) and 4 cloves garlic.
3. Step
Season all sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
4. Step
Remove both ends of a lemon, cut in half to create very thick slices.
5. Step
Line the bottom of the slow cooker with 4 lemon slices, 4 whole garlic cloves and a sprig of rosemary.
6. Step
Put the chicken in the slow cooker.
7. Step
Cut 2 garlic cloves in half and put all four pieces on top of the chicken along with the 2 remaining lemon slices.
8. Step
Garnish with 1-2 more sprigs of rosemary. Put the lid on the slow cooker and set to high for 4 hours.
9. Step
Place cooked chicken under the grill (broil) for 10 minutes to crisp the skin (optional).
10. Step
Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Leftover juices in the slow cooker are mostly lemon juice with a bit of chicken fat and can be used sparingly as a strongly flavoured sauce.
