By: ASHAMROCK 
"This dish is based off the Greek chicken my friend Kim taught me. I modified it to use the 6-quart slow cooker in the summer instead of the oven."

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 pound) whole chicken, skin removed
  • 1 lemon, cut in half
  • 6 cloves peeled garlic, or more to taste (divided)
  • 6 red potatoes, sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
  • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Rinse the chicken, inside and out. Place one half of the lemon and 3 garlic cloves in cavity of chicken. Reserve other half of lemon.
  2. Layer the sliced potatoes and the onions in the crock of a slow cooker. Sprinkle remaining 3 garlic cloves around the inside of the cooker; place chicken onto the vegetables. Pour in the wine and olive oil. Dissolve bouillon in the boiling water, and add to the cooker.
  3. Squeeze the juice of remaining lemon half over chicken (strain out seeds); sprinkle with oregano. Season chicken with salt and black pepper.
  4. Cover, and cook on Low setting for 8-10 hours, or on High setting 4-6 hours. A meat thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching a bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
