Today I put a whole chicken in the cooker!
I usually roast a chicken in the oven, but I was really curious to try it in the slow cooker, so I got a fresh onion, fresh garlic, some mushrooms, and a big red hot pepper, chopped up all those things, stuffed some inside the chicken and sprinkled the rest on and around it, coated it in pepper, sage, rosemary, and oregano, and put the cooker on high.
It'll be some hours yet but my goodness it already smells like the most amazing idea I have ever had. When we're done with the chicken, I plan to turn the carcass into stock and make soup with home made dumplings, also in the cooker.
Pro tip: if you've been a bit low and not had much of an appetite, put something like this in your crock pot-- the smell will wake up your stomach in no time! I can't wait for dinner tonight!
