Ingredients
  • 1 Boneless Rolled Chicken Roast
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Zest + juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp rosemary (optional)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Cracked pepper
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • ¾ cup chicken stock or white wine
  • Optional: baby potatoes or halved carrots in the base
Cooking Instructions
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, lemon zest and juice, mustard, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper.
  • Prep the chicken: Pat the roast dry. Rub the mix all over the chicken, really working it into the outside.
  • Load the slow cooker:
    • Layer sliced onion (and veg if using) on the bottom.
    • Pour stock or wine around the sides.
    • Place the chicken on top, seam-side down.
  • Cook low and slow:
    • On low for 6–7 hours
    • Or high for 3.5–4.5 hours
      Until the internal temp hits 75°C and it’s juicy as.
  • Crisp it up (optional): Transfer to a tray and blast under the grill or in the oven at 220°C for 10–15 mins to crisp the outside.
  • Rest & serve: Let it sit for 10 mins before slicing. Spoon over some of the garlicky lemony juices and serve with mash or roasties.
