Hoisin Chicken
I use this recipe to meal prep a whole chicken, then I shred it and freeze in portions!
Equipment
- 6L slow cooker
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
- 240 gram jar of hoisin sauce – I use Lee Kum Kee brand
Instructions
- I use this recipe to meal prep a whole chicken into portions of cooked chicken. Alternatively it could of course also be served as a hot chicken meal with vegetables or salad!
- Place whole chicken in slow cooker – breast side down
- Pour over the hoisin
- Cook on low for 6-7hrs or until no longer pink and juices run clear.
- When I am shredding it I store it overnight in fridge. Easier to handle and shred the next day when cold 🙂 I get 8 portioned bags of chicken meat from a medium-large whole chicken
- NOTES: Extra tips on slow cooking whole chickens and lots of other recipes for whole chickens can be viewed HERE
- Alteration: I've also done this successfully with a bottle of AYAM Lemon Chicken Sauce

Thank you for sharing Paulene,
Simple 2 ingredients and placed in my SC, I had a 2.5kg Whole chicken, I cooked on low for 7 hours
(When taking the chicken out the legs & wings feel off which was great and knew it was cooked and tender)
We removed the chicken breasts as whole pieces to freeze for individual dinners and will be awesome when I work nights and feel like a night off cooking ☺️ and we also shredded the rest of the chicken and placed in fridge for wraps and froze a small container of shredded too
Wonderful to read your feedback! Thanks for taking the time xx
Made this last night and it was delicious! Easy 2 ingredients and tasty. I made a gravy with gravy mix and added a small amount of the juice from the chicken which was also delicious. Plenty left for sandwiches
We love easy! 🙂 🙂
Made the recipe today but I used Lemon Chicken Sauce instead and it was sooo yummy , definitely recommend it 😁
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review!! 🙂
I used the lemon chicken with this same method. It was absolutely delicious, fell apart, beautifully cooked, lovely flavour and not one ounce of leftovers.. it wasn’t to lemony either just a nice flavour
Hooray! So happy you enjoyed it too 🙂
I made this yesterday using chicken drumsticks & Ayam Lemon Chicken Sauce. Soooo easy & soooo tasty. Definitely on my “favourites” list when needing something easy!!!
I made this yesterday using the lemon sauce, it was delicious. There was two cups of liquid in the slow cooker so in a small saucepan I made some gravy using 2 tablespoons of butter, two tablespoons of plain flour into a roux then slowly added two cups of the lemon liquid bring to the low boil then simmer until thickish, through in the shredded chicken and served with veges, next time I will put it over mashed potato. As there is only two of us I divided the remainder into two zippy bags and froze for two other meals.
Fabulous! I made the lemon chicken which I love but have never made for myself. I made it with corn flour drenched chicken breasts as mentioned in other comments. It was a winner and will be a regular on our menu. Now to try the hoisin sauce. Thank you.
So happy to hear you enjoyed this 🙂 Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback also!
