Whole Chicken Crock Pot Recipe

Tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken! Omit the overnight refrigeration if you are in a hurry. For variety, eliminate the onion and substitute a quartered lemon or two, stuffed into the chicken cavity.

4 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 large roasting chicken (with pop-up timer if possible)
1 cup onions, chopped

~ In a small bowl, combine the spices

~ Remove any giblets from chicken and clean chicken

~ Rub spice mixture onto the chicken

~ Place in resealable plastic bag and refrigerate overnight

~ When ready to cook, put chopped onion in bottom of crock pot

~ Add chicken

~ No liquid is needed, the chicken will make its own juices

~ Cook on low 4-8 hours

This is a great go-to meal and it really is fall-off-the-bone tender! This picture just doesn't do it justice! I never realized how hard it is to photograph food!
