Description

Easy, yummy, slow-cooked whole chicken. Tastes just like the ones in your local grocer’s deli!

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Fryer/Roaster Chicken
  • 2 teaspoons Paprika
  • 2 Tablespoons Seasoning Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Oil Of Your Choice

Preparation

Prepare chicken by removing package of giblets and cleaning inside the cavity of the chicken with cold running water. Rinse off the chicken and pat dry with a paper towel.

Ball up 4 pieces of foil into 1″balls and place in the bottom of your slow cooker. Place chicken on top of the foil balls, breast side up.

Mix paprika, seasoning salt and oil in a small bowl, adjusting seasonings to taste. Baste over the top and sides of the chicken, making sure to cover the legs as well. Place the cover on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 6 to 8 hours, or until it reaches 165ºF on a meat thermometer.

Note: When I use my slow cooker, it usually only takes about 6 hours, and I allow it to sit on WARM for an additional hour or so, depending on our day. The extra time just allows it to soak up the yummy spices, and the foil keeps the chicken from getting stuck to the bottom of my slow cooker. Clean up is a breeze!

I wrap small baking potatoes in two layers of foil and rest the chicken on that. Instant side dish!

This sounds ideal for making so many other dishes! I often stop at the store for a rotisserie chicken to throw together a casserole when I get home. To think the chicken would be ready for me at a fraction of the cost!! Be still my heart!

Tasty and easy, but the cooking time is far too long. I’ve tried it twice (for 6 hours and 8 hours) and it turned out very dry both times. 4 hours on high should be plenty.

So easy! I also rubbed the chicken with garlic cloves and stuffed them inside before applying the rub. So moist! Disappeared quickly.

Excellent recipe! It tastes exactly like rotisserie chicken, super juicy as well.

Fantastic! So easy and just like what I get at the store. It took 6 hours in my crockpot. I then took it out, placed it on a platter and covered it with foil to cool to a temperature where I could handle it to pick it apart. I’m going to use the chicken for a casserole recipe later in the week. Knowing that I have this option now, I don’t think I will ever have to buy another from the store again!
