Honey Dijon Crockpot Chicken

Ingredients:

1 Whole chicken, mine was 3 pounds but whatever you can fit in your crock pot works
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
3 Sprigs fresh rosemary
1/4 Cup organic honey
1 Lemon, zested, halved, and juiced
3 cloves of garlic peeled
1/2 White onion quartered


Process:

Rinse your chicken under cold water and then pat dry with a paper towel.
If you have a chicken that is roughly prepared, just remove the giblets, etc and then clean and pat dry.

Season the outside and inside of your chicken generously with salt and pepper and then place the chicken in the crock pot. It does not matter how you place it in there but lets keep it simple, just like it would sit on a shelf is what it should look like in your crockpot.

Chop up 2 sprigs rosemary and depending on how you zested your lemon, chop that up too.

Place the rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, and dijon mustard in a bowl and mix well.

If your honey is thick you can microwave it for 15 seconds or so to soften it up and help it mix
Place your remaining sprig of rosemary, the quartered onions, the garlic, and the lemon halves inside the cavity of the chicken

Now using a brush, take your honey dijon mixture and brush all over the chicken and coat heavily, you should use all of it

Cook on low in the crockpot for 6-8 hours
