How to cook whole chicken in Slow cooker?

Making your own rotisserie style chicken at home is super simple. One of my favorite ways to make a whole chicken is in my slow cooker. Make the entire roasting chicken tucked right in there is so easy. In a crock pot, whole chicken is slow cooked to perfection. Meat stays tender and soft, never dries out and keeps all the flavors.

All you need to do is rub seasoning mix in chicken skin. Then arrange balls of aluminum foil on the bottom of slow cooker and place whole chicken on top, cover with the lid and cook for a few hours. It takes about 4 hours on high or 7-8 hours on low. Cooking time depending on size of chicken you use and the brand of your slow cooker. So, cook until the chicken is tender and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. That way you’ll get delicious, fall of the bone chicken, that stays moist and tender keeping all the juiciness and flavors.

Perfectly seasoned chicken in slow cooker tastes like it’s fresh off the rotisserie.  Seasoning mix gives chicken slow-roasted flavor and golden appearance without using a rotisserie. If you want a crisper skin you can broil chicken in the oven for 5 minutes, but it so delicious even without this extra step.
