A friend of mine told me he “roasted” a whole chicken in the slow cooker, and I didn’t think it would work. But I was prepared to give it a whirl, so I bought a free range chickie! for the purpose.

Did my usual trick with a chicken, of cutting a lemon in half, putting one half inside the bird, and squeezing the other half over it. Rubbed the chicken’s skin with olive oil, seasoned it, put it in the slow cooker and switched it on, on high.

Then left it completely alone for about 8 hours. It was gorgeous, and it left some very nice chickeny juices in the bottom of the dish. We’ll be doing that again!

We ate it with lots of steamed buttery cabbage, and some carrots with star anise, and Pete had some potatoes too.
