How to Cook a Frozen Chicken

From frozen to fall-off-the-bone goodness! Did you know you could take a chicken right from the freezer and cook it without thawing? You can!

Ingredients:

2 3/4 lb frozen chicken

4 or 5 carrots, halved or quartered lengthwise

1 onion, sliced thick

1/4 cup of your favourite BBQ or dipping sauce

1/2 cup broth or water

1 lemon, zested and quartered

2 sprigs fresh dill, chopped

Layer the carrots and onion on the bottom of the slow cooker crock. Zest the lemon and reserve. Quarter the lemon and place in with the carrots and onion. Two quarters are enough for a nice lemony taste, four make the carrots very lemony. Or leave them out all together depending on your taste. Now sit the chicken on top. Look, you can still see some ice crystals on it!

Brush your BBQ sauce all over the chicken. I used leftover General Tao sauce from my Easy General Tao Chicken recipe of last week. Pour the broth or water in the bottom then sprinkle the lemon zest on the chicken and the dill over the veggies.

Cover and cook on high for 1 hour, then reduce heat to low and cook another 4-5 hours. NOTE: If you are not using a frozen chicken the whole thing should take about 3 hours on high. It's done when the internal temperature reads 165°F.

Beauty!
