Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken
No need to
run to the grocery store ... you can make an incredibly tasty and crispy roast
chicken at home, right in the slow cooker!
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt (more or less-to taste)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 whole chicken (about 4 lbs.)- neck and giblets removed
Instructions
First, spray
the slow cooker with cooking spray. Roll 4 scoops of aluminum foil and place on
the bottom of the greased crockpot (use as a rack for the chicken so that the
juices stay in the bottom of the crockpot under the chicken).
Then, semove
the neck and cup from the chicken, rinse the chicken with water and dry with
paper towels.
In a small
bowl, whisk together salt, pepper and seasonings. Rub the seasoning mixture
over all the chicken skin.
Place the
chicken on the aluminum foil. Cover with lid and cook at low for 7 to 7.5
hours, or at high for 4 to 4.5 hours until chicken is cooked through and
reaches an internal temperature of 165 F.
Carefully
remove the chicken from the slow cooker (it is very soft and it could crumble).
Serve the
chicken at will.
If you want
a crispier skin, place the chicken on a baking sheet and grill for 3-5 minutes.
Happy Cooking Time.
