SLOW COOKER CHICKEN
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.
Slow Cooker Chicken
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
- Season chicken, inside and out. Cook in slow cooker lined with foil balls on high for 3 to 4 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 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.
