Whole chicken in slowcooker
Stewing a whole chicken in the slowcooker is a healthy and easy way to prepare a juicy, tender meal. The chicken is stuffed with a mixture of onion, garlic, sage and thyme and slowly cooked for 6 hours in its own juices. The dish requires no extra butter or oil and pairs perfectly with sides like sweet potato fries and a fresh salad.

Toss the remaining garlic, onion and sage together with the thyme.Stuff this mixture into the chicken and tie the legs together. Rub a little oil over the top, and sprinkle some additional sage and thyme on top. Put the 1/3 of the garlic you set aside under the skin of the chicken.Place the chicken in the slowcooker, set the timer to 6 hours on setting 2.
