Ingredients
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (3 1/2) pound fryer chicken
- 1 apple
- 1 cup apple juice
- aluminum foil
Instructions
- Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the inside of the chicken. Put the whole apple inside the chicken cavity and place chicken into a slow cooker, breast-side down. Pour apple juice around chicken.
- Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 6 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the slow cooker, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Wine may be substituted for apple juice, if desired.

Reviews
This is so easy and so good! I followed the directions to a T, and it was wonderful. Even my husband, who has an aversion to a slow cooker (don’t ask me why) loved it. It’s a keeper!
I love making whole chickens in the slow cooker. They come out so juicy and tender with minimal effort. This recipe is as easy as it gets.
