Preface : One super bowl weekend, I walked into QFC and fresh chickens were .50 a pound in the mark down section of the meat department, I bought three. Because that’s what I do. It’s a sure fire way to cut your food costs and still eat well. Now, I had the problem of cooking all this chicken in a hurry because the pull date was the next day. I researched and after putting two of them in the ovens, I put the other one on the slow cooker. The slowmcooker one was tender and by far, the fastest chicken I ever cooked considering non passive time,
Slow cooker chicken,
- Place a peeled onion, or two small peeled onions in the bottom of the slowmcooker. This is strictly for flavoring, but a must.
- Take the chicken out if the package, working on a sheet pan, dry the chicken with paper towels. Rub a dry rub all over the chicken. Use gloves or wash your hands thoroughly afterward. Place chicken on top of the onions. Cover and cook on high heat for an hour per pound. Don’t forget to plug the slow cooker in. Lol
- Test the chicken when the time is up. I want 180 degrees, and the meat will fall off the bone.
- You miraculously, you will have a full vessel of chicken stock.
In the insta pot FROM FROZEN.
- Place chicken in pot on top of the trivet.
- Add 1 cup of water.
- Cook for 10 minutes PER POUND.
- Natural release.
