Softest Chicken Ever
Softest Chicken Ever
This recipe starts by marinating the chicken overnight to infuse it with awesome taste in every bite. Cooking it in a Crock-Pot results in chicken that literally falls off the bone. You’re going to love it!
SERVES 4–6
- 1 whole chicken
- olive oil, for drizzling
- 1 large onion
- 3 small-medium sweet potatoes (approx. 1 lb/450 g)
MARINADE
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄2 tsp oregano
- 3⁄4 tsp thyme
- 1⁄2–1 tsp smoked paprika
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 Tbsp honey
Whisk marinade ingredients together. Trim excess fat from the chicken. Smear marinade all over chicken, inside and outside. Place skin side down in a pan, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Drizzle olive oil on the bottom of a 6–8-quart Crock-Pot. Slice onion thickly into half-circles and place in pot.
Carefully place chicken, skin side down, on onions. Scrub sweet potatoes and cut in half lengthwise. Place on and around the chicken. Pour marinade over all. Turn on high and cook for 5 hours, or until ready.
