MAKE ROTISSERIE STYLE CHICKEN IN A SLOW COOKER!

This is one of our family favorite meals. The meat comes out so tender and super flavorful. You can make this as a meal or just cook it to use the meat in other recipes. I love to use it in my Homemade Chicken Salad recipe!

TIPS FOR MAKING CROCK POT ROTISSERIE CHICKEN:

• When slow cooking whole chickens, the skin will stay soft but still delicious.
• But if you’d like to crisp up and brown the skin a bit, as I did here, you can easily do that. After your chicken is finished cooking, remove most of the juices (don’t toss that, it makes for delicious stock!) and place chicken in an oven safe dish. Be careful, this chicken is SO tender! Turn the broiler to low in your oven. If you have an oven-safe slow cooker insert, you can just put the whole thing under the broiler for about 4-6 minutes (or until golden and crispy.) Keep an eye on it. If you are unsure if your slow cooker insert is oven safe, just take the chicken out of the slow cooker and put it in an oven safe pan.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

• whole roasting chicken
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• paprika (smoked paprika is even better)
• dried thyme
• lemon pepperlemon
• garlic
• onion

HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT ROTISSERIE CHICKEN:

Combine spices in a small bowl.

Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken, including the back of the chicken and the sides.

Also, be sure to sprinkle some of the seasoning inside the chicken cavity. Then stuff the chicken cavity with lemon halves, sliced garlic and onions.

Note: squeeze some of that lemon juice inside the chicken before placing the lemons inside. Also, I don’t bother peeling the garlic or onions. I just put them in there as they are. Place chicken breast side up in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low setting for 6-8 hours (or until juices run clear.)

No other liquid needs to be added. The chicken will produce plenty of juices while it is cooking. If you want the top to be a bit browner, carefully put the chicken into an oven safe baking dish and put it under the broiler for a few seconds to brown and crisp up the skin.
