Print Options
Description
When this dish is done, you’re left with meat that is literally falling off the bone. Plus, crockpot cooking has a way of pulling out the natural liquids from meat, so you’re left with some of the most amazing juices at the bottom of the pot. Use as a dipping sauce, poured right back over the sliced meat, or quickly make a gravy with the stuff. Whatever you do, make sure to use it up because it is awesome. ridiculous.
Ingredients
- 2 whole Meyer Lemons, Washed And Dried
- 2 whole Small Sweet Onions (or Half The Amount If Onions Are Large), Skinned And Sliced
- 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
- 1 whole 3-4 Pound Size Organic Chicken, Washed, Dried, And De-skinned As Best You Can (giblets Removed As Well)
- 1 dash Black Pepper To Taste
- 1 dash Salt To Taste
Preparation
1. Remove the tops and bottoms off of the Meyer lemons. Cut into 1/4″ thick slices and remove any noticeable seeds.
2. Into the bottom of your crockpot, layer half of your sliced onions and half of your Meyer lemon slices. Remove rosemary from the stems and sprinkle half on top.
3. Thoroughly salt and pepper the entire chicken, inside and out (make sure you get into that cavity) and place on top of your lemons and onions.
4. Next, top the chicken with the remaining onion, lemon and rosemary and cover with your slow cooker lid. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until the meat pulls away from the leg bones.
5. Turn off the heat. Cool chicken in the crockpot for 15-20 minutes before carefully removing it and placing it onto your platter or cutting board. It will want to almost fall apart. Then, simply slice it up and serve! Juices can be used to make gravy, sauce, or placed in an airtight container and saved for future recipes. Use a spoon and skim off any extra fat that has collected on the top of the juices and discard or save for future sautéing or frying! It’s delicious fat!

I would start with 45 min to an hour! It’ll be done when the meat is pulling from the leg bones.
Might want to add a tiny bit of oil to prevent things from sticking. Good luck!

This sounds delicious and I love how simple and straight forward the recipe is. Could you provide cooking times for the oven? I don’t ever cook with a crockpot, don’t even own one.
