Ingredients:  
4 to 5 pound whole chicken
3-4 carrots
1 onion
few stalks of celery
2 tsp salt

Directions:
Directions:
1. Line the bottom of a slow cooker with 3-4 carrots cut into chunks, 1 onion sliced and a few stalks of celery cut in chunks. Do not add liquid.
2. Mix spices in a small bowl. Rub over a 4-5 pound whole chicken
3. Cut a lemon in half and stuffed in the cavity of the chicken.
4. Important, do not add liquid. Do not dot with butter or drizzle olive oil.
5. Place chicken breast side down in slow cooker, cooking on low about 8 hours.
6. Remove chicken to serving plate.
Strain all the liquid - probably between 1-2 cups of liquid into a measuring cup. Let it settle until you can skim some of the fat off. Add water or broth to bring up to 2 cups of liquid
7. Add 1/4 cup flour to a small saucepan, and a bit of the liquid. Over medium high heat, whisk the mixture until bubbly, then add remaining liquid. Continue whisking until heated and thick. Voila! Gravy

I find it hard to believe that just a few years ago, you had to brown all your meats and poultry before throwing into a slow cooker. How times have changed! One day, I decided to put the chicken into the cooker without browning first. Well, I'm telling you, it was the juiciest chicken ever. Took less than 5 minutes to prepare. You'll love it.
