I saw this great recipe for a crock pot chicken that I haven't tried yet but it's on my menu for next week.  

You take a 3-4 pound roaster and clean it, stuff it with halved lemons and crushed garlic, then tie the legs together.  You put it on a bed of either tin foil balls or potatoes, onions and carrots all coursely chopped.  Then you add liquid.  You can do chicken stock or wine and let it cook on high for about 5 hours.  

It sounded simple and got great reviews plus there are plenty of ways to personalize the flavors.  And the best part is that you don't have to watch the oven!  You can go about your day and in the end dinner will be ready.  You can use the juices for a pan gravy too just add some corn syrup or flour.
