My chicken turned out exactly as you said! It fell off the bones, was incredibly moist and so delicious. I’ve found, through trial and error, that my crock pot runs hotter than others so I didn’t slow cook it the full 8 hours as suggested in your recipe…just a little over 5 actually, and that’s on low! Like I said …delicious!

You use both terms , crockpot and slow cooker. I am assuming the recipe works for either one.

Sorry, but after a careful internet and dictionary search it has been confirmed that you are wrong. It is pronounced gib let, not gib lit. Pronounce it however you like but know that you are in the extreme minority.

This recipe is amazing! I’ve made it 4 or 5 times now and it’s the best way to make a whole chicken. I just wanted to note that there’s a small error in the ingredient list. It says “1/2 tsp fresh thyme or 1 tbsp dried”. I think that should probably be reversed.

I have my chicken in the crockpot right now. Super excited. Can I use the liquid to make bone broth?

In reply to Janet. That's exactly what I was going to suggest. Try breast side down for part of the cook time. We haven't had a problem with dry breast meat but I think this should help. Thank you for your support!
