Ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken (about 3-4 lbs / 1.3-1.8 kg), giblets removed
  • 1 tbsp / 15 ml olive oil
  • 1 tsp / 5 g dried thyme
  • 1 tsp / 5 g dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp / 5 g salt
  • ½ tsp / 2.5 g black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, ensuring even coverage. Get under the skin of the breast for extra flavour.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken in the crockpot, breast side up.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  6. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh. If you have a meat thermometer, use it!
  7. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
