Ingredients

  • 4 pound whole chicken
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or water)
  • 1 orange
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 lime
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 teaspoons dried herbs (I used thyme, oregano and rosemary - could use Italian blend)

Instructions

  • Place chicken in crock
  • Pour 2-4 cups broth or water until it covers about halfway up the chicken
  • Place cut up chunks of orange, lemon, lime, and onion as well as peeled garlic cloves in crock around edges of chicken
  • Brush the top of chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs
  • Cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 7-9.
  • Remove to platter and slice (careful..it's HOT) or use tongs and remove bones - chicken will be very tender and will literally just fall apart
  • Optional: Place chicken on a broiler safe pan and place under broiler for 3-4 minutes until skin is crispy
