Honey Lemon Chicken

I love a crockpot recipe.

Have I mentioned that I'm obsessed with foodgawker?! I like to check it out on my lunch breaks and find new recipes.

This one seemed like a winner - honey, lemons, chicken - and the ease of a crockpot?! Sign me up!

I cooked this on a Sunday afternoon. Luckily, my boyfriend came down to visit that night - since I realized I had NO idea how to carve a chicken! He, however, did an amazing job!


Honey Lemon Chicken
recipe from Cook Eat Love
1 whole chicken
handful of fresh thyme leaves 
a couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary
Rinse and dry the chicken.  Then, rub the chicken with olive oil and season with sea salt and fresh pepper.  

Place half an onion inside the cavity of the chicken as well as half a lemon and 6 garlic cloves whole.

Cut up an onion on the thicker side as well as  one lemon. 

Take a whole head of garlic and remove the skin but leave the garlic whole.  Get a handful of fresh thyme and rosemary. 

Put the sliced onion on the bottom of the crock pot.  Add the chicken to the crock pot breast side up.  Sprinkle the chicken with the thyme .  Cover the chicken with more onion slices, lemon slices and garlic.  Finally, pour 1/4 cup of honey all over the top of the chicken and 1/4 of chicken stock to the bottom of the crock pot. 

Cook on high for 1 hour then turn to low for 4-5 more hours.  When there is one hour of cooking left add rosemary to the crock pot-just throw it in there.
