We also cook this with 1kg of chicken thigh fillets. Cooked whole then cut roughly at the end and returned to pot. Beautiful served with the sauce thickened and scattered with some sesame seeds x

Sure, it would just need much less time. Around 3hrs low would be heaps. I’m actually doing this tonight with thigh fillets myself too 🙂

This was amazing. My fussy 10yr old not only ate it but asked for more. ❤️❤️❤️ I did turn the chicken over for the last 45mins or so and was basting it ever hour which just makes your mouth water even more.

This recipe is a favorite of mine and it is the only way I cook a whole roast Chicken, it is so delicious and easy to make, I do put the chicken breast side down it lends up being so tender it falls apart, I usually make roast vegies as sides, Last night I tried Cheesy potato smash (also slow cooking dish on this site) as a side and steamed vegies

That’s pretty much the same weight so no adjusting needed 🙂

How would you adjust the recipe for a 5 lb chicken?

If you don’t have it, it will still taste nice without it 🙂

If I used drumsticks would I cook for the same amount of time?

I made this for the first time yesterday. Was nervous about cooking a whole chicken, but it was soooo easy and tasted amazing. Served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Had plenty left over for sandwiches the next day too. Winner winner chicken dinner

Ermagawd this is so tasty!! And easy as well! I added a good spoon of ginger. Probably would have added chilli as well but for whiners! Also cooked some spuds in the sauce and it was the bomb!

We tried this recipe as our second ever slow cooker meal and were very happy with how the chicken turned out … Great flavor .. We usually cook on our Webber Q bbq but this is an excellent other method to enjoy a chicken … will be doing this again ..

This is amazing ! The fam-bam loves it to . After the chicken is cooked I shred /pull it and put it back in the slow cook juices until I have served up all veggies , it just thickens up the sauce a bit more and gives chicken a lot more flavor . I serve in a bed of mash with side of veggies .

It was good, something the kids liked but I used chicken breasts which I won’t be using next time and cooked it for to long so chicken was dry. Next time I will use a whole chicken

Super easy to make and super tasty. I have been known to eat the sauce with a spoon 🙂
This recipe will work well for pulled chicken as well. Cook as per recipe instructions and then debone and shread meat at the end of the cooking time.

Made this tonight using chicken drums with skin on – it was delicious and so easy to throw together. 4- 5 hours on low.
Served on whipped potato, minted peas and julienned carrots….so delicious – sprinkled with sesame seeds. (and I got to have some leftovers to take to work!)
Thanks for the recipe 😋
