Not the best photo in the world because, unfortunately, chicken cooked in the slow-cooker doesn't have much color, but this chicken is AMAZING! Fall-off-the-bone tender it makes a perfect dinner or cook it up for use in lunches and dinners all week (chicken enchiladas, chicken quesadillas, chicken soup, chicken casserole, etc....).
The BEST Whole Chicken Cooked In The Slow-Cooker
Makes: 1 Whole Chicken
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large onions, peeled and each cut into 4 large chunks
1 large chicken
Place the onion chunks in the bottom of the slow-cooker. You'll use these to keep the chicken from sitting directly on the slow-cooker's dish. In a small bowl, combine all of the spices. Rub all over the chicken, including under the skin. Place chicken, breast side down, on the onion chunks. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the meat falls off of the bone easily when pulled with forks.
