Method
I popped some chopped onion, garlic and rosemary inside my chicken and placed into my slow cooker on high for 4 hours. The cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken. I then added some gravy to the bottom, a chopped carrot and a small sliced onion. This makes the most delicious base for your gravy. While my chicken was cooking I managed to enjoy putting my feet up, watching a film whilst enjoying a glass of red wine. I then prepared my potatoes by par boiling for 5 minutes, giving a little shake in the pan to get them a tad fluffy and popped into a Pyrex dish with a little hot oil. I cooked these on 195c in the air fryer for 15 minutes, turning half way. To serve. I rested my chicken on a platter and added the stock at the bottom to a sauce pan, added some extra bistro and stirred.
The final result was a succulent slow-cooked chicken paired with perfectly crispy air-fried potatoes and carrots. The gravy, infused with the flavours of garlic, rosemary, and chicken juices, was the perfect finishing touch to this comforting meal.
