Falling-off-the-Bone Chicken

Mar 10, 2024 (updated Aug 21, 2025) (Leave a Comment)

Tender, falling-off-the-bone chicken is one of the best kinds of chicken, in my opinion. The best way to get there is by slow roasting a chicken on a rotisserie (like a store-bought roasted chicken) or slow cooking it in a slow cooker.

Before I had my Instant Pot I had a slow cooker that I used to make this recipe. You can cook the chicken really slowly for about 8 to 10 hours, or shorten the time to 4 to 6 hours. You can also slow cook in your Instant Pot or any other slow cooker or pressure cooker that has the slow cook setting.

To be honest I rarely eat chicken but I've been testing recipes for the Gentle Healing Meal Plan and I recommend tender chicken for omnivores. My son ate a lot of tender chicken, soft vegetables, and soup when he was younger and not feeling well, and roasted chicken is still his go-to meal. It can serve as a meal at least two nights a week depending on how many servings you need for the first meal. And you can use the leftover bones to make chicken stock or broth.

This recipe originally appeared in my cookbook, Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. I adjusted a few things, including the most important change-I increased the amount of salt from 1 teaspoon to 3 teaspoons. If you have my cookbook feel free to use the original recipe and add 2 teaspoons of salt. Enjoy!
