Recipe View Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird. (15 minutes)

For extra flavor, consider adding aromatics such as quartered onions, garlic cloves, and lemon wedges to the cavity of the chicken before cooking.
If you prefer crispy skin, place the cooked chicken under the broiler for a few minutes after slow cooking, but watch it carefully to prevent burning.
You can use this method with bone-in chicken pieces as well, adjusting the cooking time accordingly.
