… might seem long winded but you can slow cook a chicken and strip it ahead of the game – I can assure you it's worth it. The bonus is that you've got a stash of chicken ready and waiting to use left over from the following recipe - from sandwiches and slaw, to a curry, with noodles, a stir fry or even a pie!
Slow Cook a Whole Chicken
1 chicken – between 1.5kg – 1.75kg
1 chicken stock pot
2 tsps of garlic paste or 1 garlic stock pot
generous sprinkle of oregano or garlic
Italian seasoning
OR
Alternatively use two whole star anise in the cavity
and omit the herbs
Place your chicken in the slow cooker and mix the stock pot with the garlic paste and spread over the chicken. Sprinkle with the herbs OR add the whole star anise to the cavity and omit the herbs. Switch your slow cooker to the low setting and leave it for 8 hours.
Strain the stock and freeze the resultant liquid gold if you're not using it, strip the chicken, keeping aside what you need and then bag and freeze the remainder.
You'll get approximately 250ml of stock from the chicken.
It takes no time at all to prepare and you can leave it to do its magic!
