One way to save time, is to prepare recipes in a slow cooker. Here is an easy way to prepare a whole chicken in a slow cooker! First, gather these ingredients: small whole chicken, 2 lemons, 2 heads of garlic, fresh thyme, salt and pepper. Then, rinse the chicken and pat dry. Slice lemons and crush garlic and place them at the bottom of the slow cooker. Then, rub butter and thyme under the chicken skin. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook on high for 5 hours and serve with vegetables of choice!<\/p>\n<p id=\"takeawayheader\">Key Takeaways:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"takeaways\">\n<li id=\"takeaway1\">Time seems to be the one thing that we&rsquo;re all short of, and money can&rsquo;t seem to buy. I wish there were more hours in the day, more time for play, more minutes with family, and more time for sleep.<\/li>\n<li id=\"takeaway2\">I know one of the easiest way to steal back time is to be organised, and to take the thinking out of life.<\/li>\n<li id=\"takeaway3\">Run you finger between the skin and the breast of the chicken. Place some fresh thyme underneath, and some butter if you&rsquo;re feeling naughty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"quote\">&#8220;We want more time for togetherness. More time for family. We&rsquo;re trying to steal moments for togetherness, because this life we live now&hellip; it&rsquo;s busy, and fast-paced and so noisy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"readmoretext\">Read more: <\/span><a id=\"source\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fatmumslim.com.au\/cook-whole-chicken-slow-cooker\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/fatmumslim.com.au\/cook-whole-chicken-slow-cooker\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"task_trail\" style=\"display: none;\">(abstract 3P888QFVX3U0K91OAN54FWBR9SPOQO 33C7UALJVLYB5XSK8TVV5T93KI518X AHAF0VRBZ5JJP)(authorquote 3PKVGQTFIHKCQOKQTP32MDJYJOSRY5 3LOZAJ85YDD89JBOZ571QB013XZ2XU A24Z3ZTXO7OKH0)(keypoints 3XDJY5RK5SLO89YN8CA0BZ2BVMZU4T 3JNQLM5FT4MD9PUZLM4DFH5EWPXL21 A205AS9GE2DGZK)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone wants more time to spend with their family.
