Slow Cooker Chicken (Whole)
2868
One of my favorite ways to make a whole chicken is in my slow cooker. Slow Cooker Chicken is so easy to throw together, and at dinner time you have a lovely whole chicken to eat or shred and use in another recipe.
4
1 whole chicken around 5 pounds, insides removed and washed and patted dry
1 tablespoon of paprika – more or less to taste
3 Tablespoons of steak seasoning – more or less to taste
Salt and Pepper
1 tablespoon of paprika – more or less to taste
3 Tablespoons of steak seasoning – more or less to taste
Salt and Pepper
Directions
Season chicken, inside and out. Cook in slow cooker lined with foil balls on high for 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees.
Recipe notes:
I like to use the juices at the bottom of the slow cooker to baste the chicken while it is resting, just to add even more flavor.
Though the skin is flavorful, it doesn’t really get super crispy with this cooking method.
I use a 5 quart slow cooker, and my chicken fits perfectly.
Resist opening the lid to check progress, slow cookers take a long time to come back up to temperature and cooking time will need to be extended.
