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.
Great! 🙂
A new favourite ?
Can you use chicken pieces with skin on
Yes
Try for around 4hrs on low
Amazing! Used drumsticks. Whole family loved it!
One of the best chicken recipes I’ve come across
Delicious and so easy! Will definitely be making again
this dish was amazing, definatly cooking again… thank you Paulene for sharing your recipe 🙂 grandkids ate all the chicken up
Hi, just wondering what sides they put with this dish.
That’s my phot above and I served with salads and pomme potato balls 🙂
This was absolutely delicious!
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
Definitely meant for the whole chicken ideally 🙂
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 .
We LOVE this one! It’s a favourite of ours. Thanks so much for sharing this with us
This is our family favourite roast chicken recipe! Absolutely delicious every single time 🙂
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 ..
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!
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
If I used drumsticks would I cook for the same amount of time?
4-5hrs low is plenty for drumsticks Deidre 🙂
hey, i haven’t got mustard powder, can i just leave that out? or will it change the taste?
If you don’t have it, it will still taste nice without it 🙂
How would you adjust the recipe for a 5 lb chicken?
That’s pretty much the same weight so no adjusting needed 🙂
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
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.
Can this be done with chicken breasts??
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 🙂
made this last night, 1kg chicken breast skin on, 3hr on low, halved the sauce, tasted fantastic
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
This is really enjoyable and my favourite whole chicken recipe and it’s really tasty
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 ?
Made this with wing nibbles had on high for 3 hours for 2kg and then browned up in the oven for 15.
Massive hit with the crew went like hotcakes!!!
Cool…
My first attempt at cooking a whole chook in the SC and I was not disappointed..
Served with sides of peas and corn, Baked potato and pumpkin with baked caulie sprinkled with oil, onion salt and parmeson cheese..
Only change I made was half the garlic (personal choice..)
Melted in my mouth while eating and the flavour just added the extra taste for the taste buds..
I will definitely be cooking more whole chickens from here..
So tasty & moist with a beautiful flavour and no extra work than buying a pre cooked chook. Slow Cooker looks after it for the day & you still have to break it up as you do a pre cooked one – why bother when you can get your own flavours any time you like. ???
No effort, super succulent deliciousness .
First time I’ve cooked whole chook since I don’t know when ???
Will not be the last time now!
Made this for the first time Sunday nights dinner. It is very tasty, chicken was lovely and moist. Another fantastic recipe to add to my folder. Thank you Paulene for yet another beautiful recipe. I so love SC.
Super easy & delicious!
So easy that the hubby was in charge of the slow cooker today while I was at work.
He nailed it!!! Yummo.
This is my first time trying this and must say it is now one of my favourites , has smelt good all day while cooking and tastes delicious , will definitely be making it again 🙂
Tried this for the first time last night and it was Absolutely Amazing!!!!!! Husband devoured his plate then finished off the chicken and has told me I have to make it again & again
LOVE your feedback – thanks Nicole!
I’ve got two words to sum up this dish: Easy and delicious!
I will definitely be making this again. ??
So easy and very tasty. Everyone liked it so we’re definitely having this again.
Cooked this tonight , went down well with the family I used chicken thighs instead and cooked on low for 5 hours and used the tea towel trick,
Beaut recipe, so simple to make and thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family I used chicken thighs instead and cooked for 5 hours and did the tea towel trick.
Made honey BBQ chicken using chicken thighs and used tea towel trick, it was so easy to put together and smelt really good while cooking , went down well with the family , with no leftovers might have to do double quantity next time.
Delicious!!!!
Cooked with 1kg chicken thigh cutlets.
Served with potato bake and veg. Leftovers shredded for lunches but could be used for wraps or pizza toppings too.
