Instructions: Cooks

Note: If you plan to serve the chicken cut into serving pieces rather than cutting it up and using it in other dishes, sprinkle the top of the chicken with seasoned salt, such as Lawrys, to give it more color.

1. Remove giblets from interior of chicken. Remove fat pads on either side of the opening to the interior cavity. Wash chicken with cold water and shake off excess water. Place in a 3-1/2 or 4 quart crockpot, breast side up.

2. Place lemon wedge and bay leaf inside cavity, if using. Season top of chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Scatter sprigs of thyme around chicken.

3. Cook on low power for 7 to 8-1/2 hours.
