For extra flavor, consider adding aromatics such as quartered onions, garlic cloves, and lemon wedges to the cavity of the chicken before cooking. If you prefer crispy skin, place the cooked chicken under the broiler for a few minutes after slow cooking, but watch it carefully to prevent burning. You can use this method with bone-in chicken pieces as well, adjusting the cooking time accordingly.
