Chicken Portabella Slow Cooker Or Oven Food

SLOW COOKER WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the slow cooker if necessary and add a splash of water to the base. Scrunch up some foil to make a trivet to sit in the base of the bowl to rest the chicken on.

Tip the juices inside the chicken out as you lift it out.
• Brown the chicken skin under the grill or carve the chicken before anyone sees it. Spoon the liquid out of the base of the pan to use as gravy, there won't be much but it will have a good flavour.
