  • 1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
  • 1 (4 to 4 1/2-lb.) whole roasting chicken
  • 2 garlic cloves, quartered
  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry or orange juice

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce and gingerroot; mix well. Rinse chicken, discarding neck and giblets. Pat dry with paper towels. Place garlic and 2 of the orange slices in chicken cavity. Tie string around legs and tail section, leaving about 6 inches of extra string. Tie string in same way around breast area. (String will be used to easily lift chicken from cooker.)

    Spray 4 to 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken, breast side up, in sprayed slow cooker with string extending over edge of cooker. Brush chicken with honey mixture.
