Easiest Crockpot Chicken

This dish is super-easy, and will make your whole house smell good. The chicken ends up very moist and with a subtle sweet-and-sour flavor. Plus, it's all from scratch, and only takes 20 minutes of prep time.

1 3-pound whole chicken
1/2 cup broth
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 tbs. minced garlic
Serve with cooked rice

1. Remove skin from chicken and empty cavity of giblets. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel, and place inside the slow cooker.

2. In a bowl, stir together the broth, olive oil, honey, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and garlic. Pour mixture over chicken and cover.

3. Cook chicken on low setting for 3 and 1/2 to 4 hours.

4. To make gravy, let the fat separate out from the cooking liquid. Skim off the fat and put two cups of the remaining liquid in a saucepan. Slowly add 1-2 teaspoons of cornstarch to thicken, stirring to incorporate the cornstarch. Simmer to condense.

5. Serve with cooked plain rice, topped with gravy.
