A delightful and easy-to-make slow cooker recipe featuring tender chicken infused with lemon and herbs.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt the butter.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the pan and brown them on all sides.
Browning the chicken enhances its flavor and gives it a nice color.
Place the celery and carrots at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Layering the vegetables first prevents the chicken from sticking to the bottom.
Arrange the browned chicken drumsticks on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
Ensure the chicken pieces are placed in a single layer for even cooking.
Pour the chicken stock and lemon juice over the chicken.
Adding lemon juice brightens the flavor of the dish.
Sprinkle the spring onions, green onions, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the chicken.
Mixing fresh and dried herbs adds depth to the flavor.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Cooking on low ensures the chicken becomes tender and absorbs all the flavors.
Serve the chicken with its juices over rice or alongside crusty bread.
Serving with bread or rice helps soak up the delicious juices.
