Whole Chicken in a slow cooker

Cooking MethodSlow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 whole frying chicken
  • 1 can beer
  • chicken broth to cover.
  • sliced onion to taste
  • chopped celery to taste
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary

Instructions

This recipe calls for a whole frying chicken, rinsed well in cool water, patted dry with the giblets removed. Place in your slow cooker and add one can of beer and chicken broth to cover. Also put in some sliced onion and chopped celery (individual preference here). I also put some onion and celery directly into the cavity. Add to the broth one teaspoon of basil and one teaspoon of rosemary. Set on low setting, cover and allow to simmer for 6 to eight hours. At the end of the cooking time the meat is very tender, almost falling off the bone, and I serve with rice and a salad. Good dinner on those nights when you have more activities then time to cook. The broth can be put through a strainer and reused as a base for other recipes.
