Don't put away that slow cooker just because warm days are upon us! That "cold weather, comfort food" cooking tool can be used to help beat the summer heat by leaving that oven and stove turned OFF. So throw this easy and delicious dish in the vessel and forget about it while you have fun in the summer sun!
Being in a slow cooker the skin doesn't crisp up like a traditional roasted chicken, but it will barely be missed.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
