Very tasty and easy! We thought it was too lemony the first time we made it, so I only used two and thought that was perfect. I also used four small potatoes instead of foil per another reader’s suggestion. A new staple in our family!

Cooking intimidates me, but I tried this recipe, and it was a MAJOR success! My husband and 3 kids raved about it- they are my toughest critics. Thank you for making this so user friendly to follow and delicious!

This recipe alleviated all of my fears about making a whole chicken! The end result was delicious and we have chicken for days. The only change I made is that instead of foil balls at the bottom of the crockpot, I used potatoes. Thanks for another great recipe!

I’ve made this recipe twice now and each time the chicken turned out perfect. So flavorful and not dry at all. I actually saved the bones and followed the attached recipe to make bone broth. That was also so easy and the broth turned out amazing!

No it can’t. This is a crockpot whole chicken recipe. If you’d like to make it in the instant pot I’d suggest googling ‘instant pot whole chicken’. I’ve tried to make a whole chicken in the instant pot both times and really didn’t like it. It was tough and not as juicy or tender as when it’s cooked in the crockpot so I can’t say I’d recommend it.

Can this be used in an instant pot? If so, what are the instructions for cooking.

Thank you

Much easier than I expected to take the meat off! I got a little skeeved out when it came to the spine area, but powered through. Didn’t take nearly as long as I anticipated, so I’ll definitely be doing this in the future! Great for meal prep to keep cooked protein on hand. Used my silicone sling from my IP (instead of the aluminum balls) and it worked well and made it extremely easy to take the chicken out at the end. Threw everything back in the crockpot to try the broth recipe tonight, so cleanup was easy for now!

I don’t generally like cooking with chicken other than chicken breast. I find it gross BUT this recipe is delicious and super easy. We have been making chicken every week and are enjoying how juicy and tender it is. Don’t skip this recipe.
