Whole Chicken in the Slow Cooker

A whole chicken is much cheaper to purchase and can last you up to 3 meals! Sometimes I'll roast them in the oven, but this way is just as easy (easier?), and makes melt-in-your-mouth chicken :) Not to mention you can actually leave the house while it's cooking! ;)

Tonight we'll have roasted chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes. Tomorrow will be shredded chicken enchiladas using the rest of the meat. I plan on making homemade chicken stock with the carcase. 

INGREDIENTS
  • Whole chicken, insides discarded.
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
DIRECTIONS
  1. Rinse chicken and pat dry.
  2. Place chicken in slow cooker.
  3. Mix the remaining ingredients together in a bowl, then pour over chicken.
  4. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
