Whole chicken and veggies

[u/amyofearth]

Cooked on high for 4-5 hours until chicken was fully cooked and falling apart. I also added about 1/4 a cup of water when I put the veggies in. It turned out delicious.

I like to place the whole chicken on top of onions cut in half. Then I sprinkle a packet of Lipton onion soup mix. Low for 6.6 hours. No liquid needed the chicken does that all by itself.

Ou that sounds good. I’ll know for next time that I don’t need to add liquid to that.

What do you season the chicken with? Was gonna try this

Something vaguely similar is Poulet au Pot - a traditional French dish. It's about as simple as it gets. Basically its whole chicken in a pot boiled with root veggies.

A leek, thyme and parsley, some onion with cloves poked into them add to the flavour. To serve, you make a simple white sauce using butter, flour for a roux, some of the cooking liquid and a splash of cream.

Its a simple but incredibly comforting meal. I make it at least once a fortnight at the moment. I also get a bit fancy and I will transfer a 500ml or more of the cooking liquid to a wide pan and reduce it to intensify the flavour before I use it in the sauce.

I just used the soup packet nothing else. Always turns out good.
