Roasted Chicken in the Crock-pot

So if you like the grocery store roasted chicken you can pick up, you will like this even better! I did a lot of searching for a make in the crock-pot chicken and finally found a combination of spices that just are perfect! And better yet it cooks while you're busy all day at work and you come home to an amazing smelling house! And you won't have to cook then!

So if you're ready for a super easy and "fast" roasted chicken in your crock-pot... here we go! 








Crock-pot Roasted Chicken
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (Frying or Roasting doesn't matter)
1/2 an onion cut into thirds
4 cloves of garlic peeled and cracked (smashed)

2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper (fresh ground about 12 grinds)
pinch of chili pepper (or 2)

Directions:
1. Take all the 'giblets' out of the chicken and rinse with water. Pat dry.
2. Mix all the spices in a bowl together
3. take 1/2 tsp of the spice mix and toss in the cavity of the chicken and put the onion and garlic in the cavity of the chicken.
4. Take some cooking spray or oil and just wipe the crock-pot with oil, it makes clean up easier. Then put the chicken in the crock-pot.

5. Evenly take the seasoning mix and cover it all over the chicken.
6. Set the crock-pot on Low for 10 hours (I find that compared to the 8 it retains a lot more moisture in the chicken.
7. 10 hours later its DONE! Fall off the bone good!
 

Let me know what you think when you try it!
