Lemon Crock Pot Chicken is a family favorite!! I love it when I can pick up whole chickens on meat markdown!!  Cooking a whole chicken in the crockpot really isn’t hard to do at all. PLus you end up with chicken leftover to use in other meals.

I love finding meat on markdowns, but trying to find new ways to make food can be a challenge; I have no idea how generations before did this, the days of Pinterest.  I will gladly use Pinterest to find new food at a discount.  My next plan is to try a whole chicken in my Instant Pot.

 I made this in my 8 Quart crockpot, If you are not sure what size suits your family’s needs be sure to check out my Crockpot Buying Guide. I love to use the bigger crockpot to have leftovers.

Lemon Pepper Crock Pot Chicken Ingredients:

  • Whole Chicken
  • Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • Minced Onion
  • Salt
  • Pepper

I first started making this in 2015, and it still gets made often in my house!

How To Make Lemon Pepper Crock Pot Chicken:

Spray your crockpot with the nonstick spray, this will make clean-up easier. You can use a slow cooker liner, but I have not tried it with a whole chicken; there normally isn’t much to wash out.

Make at least four tin foil balls, depending on how big your chicken is.

Remove the chicken innards and wash off with water.

Pat dry the chicken and place it on a plate.

Season to taste with lemon pepper seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Shake the chicken a bit over the plate to remove the excess seasoning and then place on the foil balls.

Be sure to place the chicken on the bottom side down. (aka breast side up)

Shake a bit of minced onion on the chicken, mine fell off when I did it on the plate so I ended up doing it in the crockpot.

Cook on high for 4-4 ½ hours

    My husband and I are currently on a lemon pepper kick right now and have been dying to make something like this using it. I’m excited about trying this!
