I’m going to try this for dinner tonight. It’s in the Crock Pot right now. I hope it turns out! I’ll update if necessary!

Recipe Type: Main, Chicken

It’s like take out that you can make yourself!

Ingredients

Chicken: 1 whole chicken, giblets removed (you can use them to make stock)
2 T olive oil
salt and pepper
1 C water
Glaze: 1 T cornstarch
1/2 C water
3/4 C lemon juice (juice of about med-large lemons)
2 T honey
Pinch salt

Instructions

Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper in bottom of Crock Pot. Add chicken. Drizzle chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour water into bottom of Crock Pot. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or on low for 4-5 hours, (or until temperature inserted into thickest part of meat comes to 170F).
Whisk together cornstarch, water, and balsamic vinegar. Pour into a small saucepan over medium heat. As it gets warm, it will start to thicken. Whisk, and be careful that it doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t burn. It should only take a few minutes.
Halfway through cooking time, brush chicken with glaze (or if youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re not going to be home, brush with glaze when you put chicken in at the beginning).
Right before serving, brush a little more glaze on the chicken.
