Slow Cooker Whole Roasted Chicken
Report
An easy recipe for a wonderfully moist, flavorful chicken roasted in the slow cooker.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 yellow onions coarsely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves peeled
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 5 fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 bay leaves
- 4.5 to 5 pound whole chicken neck and giblets removed
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onions, garlic and tomato paste, and cook until the onions are softened and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the wine and broth, scraping up any browned bits and smoothing out any lumps; transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Add the thyme sprigs and bay leave to the slow cooker. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place, breast-side-down, in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is tender and registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 4 to 6 hours.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 20 minutes. Let the liquid in the slow cooker settle for 5 minutes, then skim the fat off of the surface using a large spoon. Strain the liquid, discarding the solids, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Carve the chicken and serve with the sauce.
