1

Place onions, potatoes and carrots in the bottom of the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.
2

Clean and dry chicken. Zest lemon and reserve. Quarter lemon, and place in the cavity. Place chicken on top of vegetables.
3

In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
4

Use hands to coat the chicken in the butter mixture. Season with additional salt and pepper.
5

Cook chicken on LOW for 4-8 hours. The cooking time depends on how large your chicken is. Cook until an internal temperature reaches 160°F in the leg and the juices run clear.
6

Take the chicken out of the slow cooker and place in an oven-proof 9x13-inch pan. Brown the chicken under the broiler for 4-5 minutes or until the skin is brown and crispy.
