MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Slow-Cooker Whole Chicken Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Herbs Yield: 6 servings 5 lb Chicken; trimmed of excess - fat Salt & black pepper 6 cl Garlic; peeled 2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil; more - for the pot 1 lg Onion; in 1/4" slices 1 lg Carrot; peeled, quartered - lengthwise 2 ts Smoked paprika 1 ts Ground turmeric Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season it generously all over (inside the cavity as well) with 5 to 7 ts of salt, depending on the weight of your bird, and about 2 ts of pepper. If your chicken is smaller than 4 lb, reduce salt to 3-1/2 to 4 ts. (This can be done up to 24 hours in advance and the chicken kept in the refrigerator, uncovered. Take the chicken out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.) Place half of the garlic cloves inside the cavity of the chicken. Drizzle the bottom of a 6 to 7 qt slow cooker with about 1 tb olive oil. Arrange the onion slices in a single layer, and place the carrot sticks on top to create a rack for the chicken to rest on. Place the chicken on top of the carrot sticks, drizzle with 2 tb of olive oil, and sprinkle the paprika and turmeric all over the top and sides of the chicken, including the nooks and crannies of the wings and the legs. Scatter the remaining garlic around the sides. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3-1/2 to 4 hours, until cooked through.
