Lemon-Garlic Chicken A La Joe

OK, a fancy-ish name for a simple dish :)

Joe just made us supper ... we tend to eat early, around 4-5pm, which leaves us time to still do "stuff" afterward. Anyway, here's the idea:

Take a slow-cooker chicken (larger, older, than a roasting chicken) and plan to have the oven on 200-250 degrees F (100-125 Celsius roughly) for a few hours!

While the oven preheats, loosen the skin from the meat in various areas of the chicken and add EVOO and garlic cloves between the two. The olive oil for added juiciness when it cooks, the garlic for the anti-oxidants and flavour.

Place in a roasting pan, add water up to the wing-level, and then ... slice a lemon into thick slices and add around the chicken!

Cover and place in the oven. Leave it there for the better part of the day - Joe put it in there around 10 this morning, and like I said, we had it at 4:30 this afternoon. From time to time, pull it out enough to baste it with the juices running off and the water in the pan.

Serve with fresh (frozen) peas, broccoli, cauliflower ... your choice.
