I love 2 things; the chickens we get from the CSA and cooking them in the Crockpot! The farmers' Market at Case started up 2 weeks ago and I've been picking up fresh herbs from them. So this time, I placed some fresh thyme and fresh chives into the cavity before cooking and it turned out so yummy!
Thyme and Chive Crockpot Chicken
- 1 farm-raised chicken*
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 small bunch fresh Chives
- salt and pepper
Thoroughly dry the chicken inside and out. Place thyme and chives into cavity and place chicken, upside-down, into the Crockpot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook covered for 8 hours on low.
Note: When done, I remove meat and return skin and bones to the crockpot with water to make stock. cook overnight, then remove bones and cook for rest of day. Cool; remove fat. Pour into ice cubed trays to freeze for later use.
