This is great! I add a little fresh thyme into it and it just adds a bit of a kick!

DELICIOUS!!!!! I did not put the entire amount of cayenne pepper in just because I was feeding it to a little tike as well and it STILL had just enough “kick.” I had all the spices in my cupboard–just had to buy the chicken. The entire thing cost me $4.91. Can’t beat that for an EASY and yummy meal! THANKS for sharing!

We have made this recipe several times, and love it! It’s easy, tasty, and provides lots of juice to put over rice or to freeze to add to soup.

I also cut way back on the cayenne since I’m feeding a toddler, but this was fantastic. I used probably less than 1/4 tsp. cayenne, and didn’t have white pepper so put in a little bit of extra black pepper. We will be having this again, though, probably very soon. Great recipe!

Very easy and very good! The meat was falling off the bones. I don’t think I will ever roast a chicken in the oven again. Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe is so easy and delicious! I do agree with the others though that the cayenne is a bit much unless you like the spicy side of life 
so I just toss in a pinch. I also seem to always forget to season the night before and it seems to end up OK

Delicious! I’ve never remembered to season the chicken the night before, and so I season it right before it goes into the crock, and it’s just amazing: super moist, flavorful and easy! Instead of rubbing the seasoning inside the chicken, I toss some onion chunks in the seasoning before I put them inside the chicken. Also, we don’t have any cayenne in the house, so I use just a pinch of chili powder. Even my super picky 3.5 year old goes back for seconds!

Absolutely love this recipe! I do add 2 t of thyme and use cut up whole chicken. I put the onions on the bottom, poor in 1 cup of chicken stock and top with chicken. The juices run from the chicken and by the time it is cooked (4-5 hrs on low), it’s almost covered in them and meat falls off the bone. So easy and delicious!

This recipe is now part of our rotation. I never remember to season it the night before; like another reviewer said it works out just fine if you season it right before you put the bird on the crockpot. My whole family loves it! It is easy and *much* better tasting than the rotisierre chickens at the grocery store. And, chickens go on sale for $3-$5 a chicken all the time, so it is very budget friendly as well. Love it! Easy, cheap, and tasty — a homemakers dream recipe.

Really yummy & super easy! I seasoned it about an hour before I put it in the slow cooker, and made sure to get most of the seasoning under the skin. I also put about 5 crumpled balls of aluminum foil underneath the chicken in the slow cooker so that it wouldn’t end up swimming in liquid, it worked out great! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and REALLY flavorful! This recipe is definitely a keeper!

I’ve always been afraid of those whole chicken but ..Wow! This was great! I’m never going to get one of those deli rotissorie chickens again. I couldn’t stop eating this and licking my fingers! I cut up some carrots, potatoes, and celery and put that in the crock pot first and placed the chicken on top. Awesome! Thanks for sharing it!

I’m so glad you liked it! It’s scrumptious, isn’t it?! And, the leftover juices make a killer gravy!

This was so yummy! The seasoning mix on it was marvelous, and it was super easy. The only change I’d make is that I put it on for 8 hours, and next time I’ll probably only put it on for 6 or 7.
My husband is pretty persnickety about his roast chicken, and he ate this right up. Mmmmm!

Made this today and it was really good. I didn’t start it on time, so ended up cooking it on high for about 5 hours, and it was falling off the bone. The only thing I’ll change next time is I’ll probably just do a pinch or two of Cayenne, since my kids found it a little spicy.

It depends on your slow cooker. Iit usually takes 5-6 hours on low in my current slow cooker. But I know that a slow cooker I used to have didn’t get as hot, so it would take closer to 8 hours.
I also play with the spices sometimes- lessen the cayenne, increase the garlic powder- stuff like that. I don’t think there’s much you can do that can ruin it. I’ve also added a few garlic cloves to the onion that goes inside the chicken.
So glad you all have liked it!

We had this last night for dinner! Absolutely scrumptious! The chicken literally fell off the bone and was so- tasty! Will definitely be doing this again! Thanks!

Made this for dinner tonight. I had no idea you could use the crock pot to cook a whole chicken that way. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I also cut down on the “hot” spices. I also did not have time to let the chicken set in the fridge. Will add this to our “favorite” meals list. Thank you for sharing.

I made this yesterday and everyone loved it! Served it with mashed potatoes and gravy. My 16 year old son loves spicy and he said this was the best chicken he ever had, he would have eaten the whole thing himself if I had let him! This will be made often. The great thing about it was preparing it the night before and then in the a.m. just had to put the insert in the crock pot and turn it on before I headed out for work. Easy breezy!

loved it!!

Do you add any liquid? I thought that you weren’t supposed to use a crock-pot with out some kind of liquid in it.
