• 1 cup apple juice
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 apple
• aluminum foil
• 1 (3 1/2) pound fryer chicken

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Season all over inside of chicken with salt and black pepper; place whole apple inside cavity. Place chicken into a slow cooker, breast-side down; pour apple juice around chicken.

Step 2

Cover slow cooker. Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 6 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near but not touching the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a cutting board, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
