Preparation

Step 1

Separate the garlic cloves but leave them unpeeled. The easiest way to do this is to roll the head of garlic on the counter top.
Place the garlic cloves in the bottom of your slow cooker, then place the chicken on top, breast side up.
Stuff the chicken cavity with the lemon half.
Season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and paprika and/or other seasonings
Roughly strip the leaves off of the herbs, tear them up, and strew them on and around the chicken.
Cook on low for 8 hours.
Separate the chicken into individual pieces (breast, wings, leg quarters) and broil them on a baking sheet for a couple of minutes or until the skin crisps.
Serve immediately with the garlic cloves. You might make mashed cauliflower (exclude the roasted garlic) and/or gravy to serve alongside.
