Crockpot Whole Chicken Recipe with Citrus & Herb

Summer meals can be tricky to prepare, especially with two little ones out of school and under foot! Take advantage of those dog days of summer with this EASY summer inspired crockpot meal. This Crockpot Whole Chicken Recipe features a citrus and herb mixture that is light, crisp and fresh for the season.

Your family will be LOVING the tenderness of this dish! Check out the delicious recipe and say HELLO to summer, the crock pot way.

Citrus herb chicken recipe

I love when whole chickens go on sale. Sometimes as low as $0.99 per lb., it’s definitely a meat that we stock up for our family. But anyone that knows me, I have a problem with that darn bird’s anatomy. Every time I try to cook in the oven, it’s upside down. Dinner 4 hours after the fact is never a good thing.

So in trying to finally “right” my wrongs (get the pun?), this crockpot dish came to be. And the chicken was cooked perfectly!

Crockpot whole chicken recipe

I wish the chicken would have stayed whole for my picture, but you can see why! Moist, hints of citrus, and fall apart tender, this bird didn’t stand a chance in remaining whole! And was it tasty? Absolutely! As a bonus, your house will smell amazing too, just like summer! 10 minutes of prep time on it’s way to a delicious meal for dinner. My husband is already asking when we can make this dinner again 🙂
