Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 whole Chicken (bone-in preferred) Frozen chicken is acceptable; just add 1-2 hours to cook time without thawing.
For the Sauce
  • 6 cloves Garlic Never skimp on garlic; it's the heart of the recipe.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Try substituting with olive oil for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth Low-sodium broth is a good alternative for health-conscious eaters.
For the Veggies
  • 4 cups Potatoes (Yukon Gold recommended) Other root veggies like parsnips can be added at the start; softer varieties added later.
  • 2 cups Carrots Can substitute with other root vegetables if desired.
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Herbs and Spices (parsley, thyme, salt, pepper) Feel free to add your favorite herbs or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a kick.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting your bone-in chicken dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with crushed garlic, salt, and pepper to infuse flavor.
  2. In your slow cooker, start layering the ingredients. Place Yukon Gold potatoes and sliced carrots at the bottom, then position the seasoned chicken on top.
  3. Next, melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then mix in minced garlic. Drizzle this garlic butter mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Pour chicken broth around the edges of the slow cooker, avoiding direct contact with the chicken. Ensure all ingredients are covered but not submerged.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and set it on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking.
  6. Once the cooking time is complete, let the dish sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
