2 Whole chickens in the slow cooker - how long?

[parkejm]

I'm doing 2 chickens (together) in the slow cooker tomorrow but don't know whether or not to increase the amount of time I give them compared to if I was just cooking 1. My head is telling me it makes sense to increase the time but I don't know for sure, nor by how much.

Any ideas?

I'd double it? cook by weight?

[Mrs B]

I would increase it, certainly do when I do 2 in the oven, but couldn't give you any figures as I don't have a slow cooker. Sorry, not much help there!

LOL!

LG If I doubled it, they would be in there for aages, it just seems too long Like Mrs B says, if I was doing 2 in the oven I wouldn't cook them for 4 hrs instead of 2 for example.

Can you not just stab them to see if they are cooked?

How long do you cook one for?

[LibertyGal72]

But I'd assume the chooks are packed in tight and would need that long
BTW, how big are these chooks, and do you have a mahoosive slow cooker then?

Also, ask @mediocre_mum on twitter as she is the slow-cooker queen

[parkejm]

Anne - about 5hrs, sometimes 6.

LG - we do have one of the big ones, there is space around the chickens. 'Tis a good point though. Thanks for the twitter tip, will ask her

I've never done a whole chicken in the slow cooker, really stupid Q but do you just bung it in ?

[noo noo]

Yes just bung it in. No additional liquid needed.
