Slow Cooker : Lemon Chicken



Slow cookers and crock pots are great when you don't have time to slave over the stove but still want a great homey meal. On Sunday mornings, right after cooking a tasty breakfast I toss this recipe in the slow cooker and by early evening or sooner it's ready.

Lemon Chicken

1 lemon (I have used a large lime)
1 Whole roasting chicken (to fit slow cooker)
1/2 Cup of Hone (optional) (I use it)
1/2 Cup of fresh orange or lemon juice
( use orange juice-keeps the dish from being too lemony)

Rinse, clean and dry chicken. (Make sure you remove the giblet pack)/
Pierce the lemon with a fork and place in the chicken cavity.
Place chicken in the cooker.
Combine honey with orange or lemon juice and pour over the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 8 Hours or until tender.
Serves 6-8, depending on the size of the chicken.
