• Cover, and bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the pan, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before serving.

SLOW ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Place potatoes in a large roasting pan or oven-safe skillet. Toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper. (Season with an amount of salt and pepper to your preference. The measured salt and pepper amounts in the ingredient list are for the chicken.)
• Remove giblets from chicken and set aside for another use or discard. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Place chicken in pan with potatoes. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with lemon quarters and garlic cloves. Tie the legs together with cooking twine.
• In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon pepper, and paprika. Rub mixture all over the outside of the chicken. (Lift up chicken to get the bottom of the thighs.)
• Transfer to oven and cook chicken for about 3 hours total, until the skin is browned and the meat is very tender.
• Meanwhile, toss carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper. Set aside in a smaller baking dish. Cut off the top 1/3 of the head of garlic and place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over the cut top of garlic. Close foil over the top to cover.

LEMON GARLIC SLOW COOKER ROAST CHICKEN

• Rub - Mix Rub ingredients. should be fairly thick and sludgy. Adjust with extra oil if too thick.
• Loosen Skin: Use upside spoon to loosen skin of chicken (see video). Spoon most of the Rub under the skin, leaving about 1 tbsp mostly oil for the skin. Use hands or spoon on skin to spread the paste - doesn't need to be perfect.
• Stuff used lemon inside the chicken.

SLOW-ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Use fingers to loosen skin under chicken breasts and legs. Rub meat beneath skin evenly with salt. Pat skin completely dry. Place chicken, skin side up, in a 13- x 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Place dish, uncovered, on bottom shelf of refrigerator; chill 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove chicken dish from refrigerator; let stand at room temperature 1 hour. Preheat oven to 200°F. Place dish in oven; roast chicken, skin side up, 2 hours and 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 155°F in meatiest part of breast and at least 165°F in meatiest part of thigh.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add oil to pan. Add chicken to pan, skin side down; cook 3 minutes or until skin is browned and crispy. Remove from pan; let stand 30 minutes before carving.
• THE STEPS:
• 1. Spatchcock the Bird: With the chicken breast-side down, use kitchen shears to cut along both sides of the backbone, and remove it. Flip the chicken breast-side up, and then press down on the breasts until bones crack and the bird lays flat.
• 2. Salt & Air-chill: Rub salt evenly into the meat under the skin. The salt penetrates deeply into the meat and seasons the chicken over several hours, as with a wet brine. The advantage here: The chicken isn't underwater, so the skin dries as it chills, making it easier to brown and crisp in a pan later.
• 3. Roast Low & Slow: Roasting at 200°F keeps the meat from seizing up and squeezing out lots of juice, a risk you run with high oven temps. The chicken's temperature rises slowly, so you're less likely to overcook it. And roasting it skin-side up dries the skin even more before the pan-browning.
• 4. Brown & Crisp: Unlike with whole chickens, it's easy to sear the skin on a spatchcocked bird. Just a few minutes sizzling in a hot pan will yield crunchy, golden skin without overcooking the meat.

SLOW-COOKER ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the slow cooker if necessary. Put the onion and carrot in the base of the stock pot to form a protective layer to sit the chicken on, and add 100ml boiling water. Gently ease the chicken skin away from the breast. Stir some salt and pepper into the butter and push the butter under the skin. Put the bay leaf in the cavity of the chicken and sit on top of the onion and carrot.
• Cook on low for 5 hrs, then check that the chicken is cooked by wiggling the wing - it should feel very loose. Tip the chicken up so any liquid inside flows out, then cook on high for 30 mins. If the chicken isn't cooked through after the initial time, cook for another hour, then turn the heat up. If you want the skin to be browned, grill it for a couple of minutes (make sure your slow cooker insert is flameproof if you keep it in the pot, or transfer it to a roasting tin).
• There will be some gravy in the base of the dish with the veg, tip everything through a sieve and press the veg gently to make sure you get every last drop. Serve the veg on the side, if you like.

SLOW-ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat an oven to 250-degrees.
• 2. Combine the paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, parsley, and thyme in a small bowl with olive oil. Mix well
• 3. Rub the chicken in side and out with the spice mixture, and set into the roasting pan. Place the celery and quartered onions into the cavity of the chicken.
• 4. Cover, and bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180- degrees. Remove the chicken from the pan, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before serving.
• 5. If I have the time or think about it, I marinate the chicken in the spice mixture mixed with olive oil overnight in the refrigerator.
• 6. I have also substituted lemon juice for the olive oil and added a cut lemon to the cavity of the chicken before roasting that is a tasty and lower fat way to prepare this chicken.

• Place the spice rubbed chicken, breast side down, on top of the onion pieces and cover the slow cooker. You won't need to add any extra liquid.
• Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7 hours, or until the chicken is tender and falling off the bone.
