Method

  1. Peel and slice the onion before scattering over the base of your slow cooker.
  2. Remove any trussing string from the chicken and place, breast-side up, on top of the onions.
  3. Pour the oil into a small bowl and stir in the BBQ seasoning. Then, brush the mix over the chicken.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on high for 3 hours.
  5. Add the Mediterranean vegetables and brush the BBQ sauce over the chicken. Cook for another 1 hour until the chicken is tender and thoroughly cooked – the meat should be almost falling off the bones. Remove the lid and pierce the thickest part of the bird with a skewer and make sure the juices run clear.
  6. Transfer the chicken carefully to a board to rest.
  7. Place the sweet potato fries on a pre-heated baking tray near the top of the oven for 18-20 minutes. Turning halfway through cooking time. Or, try them in an air fryer until crispy!
  8. Finally, serve the chicken with the fries and vegetables. Enjoy your slow cooker whole chicken today!
