Method
Step 1
Place the oregano, lemon and lime juice, paprika, chilli powder, oil and garlic in a large mixing bowl, season to taste and stir to combine. Add the chicken and corn and turn to coat in the marinade.
Step 2
Pop the bay leaf and lime slice inside the chicken and arrange the chicken and corn in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4–5 hours or low for 8 hours then place the slow cooker pot without the lid in a preheated oven at 200°C for 10 minutes until the skin is crisp. If your slow cooker pot is not ovenproof, transfer the chicken and corn to an ovenproof dish.
Step 3
The chicken goes in the oven at the end to crisp up the skin, but it could be cooked in the oven from the start if you prefer – just coat the meat in the marinade and roast as normal.
