Best 5 Easy Crock Pot Rotisserie Chicken Recipes

CROCKPOT WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the onion, carrots and potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Arrange them in a single layer as much as possible.
• In a small bowl, stir together the spice rub ingredients: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt and pepper.
• Place the chicken in a baking dish to catch any excess juices. If there is a bag of innards in the cavity of the chicken, remove it and discard. Drain out any liquid that may be in the cavity.
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Loosen the skin around the breasts. Rub the olive oil and then the spice rub over the chicken, rubbing some of the seasoning under the skin on the breasts if possible.
• Place the lemon pieces and fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs in the cavity of the chicken. Optional: tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
• Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker, breast side up. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken registers at least 165° F in the thickest part of the leg, not touching the bone. Avoid opening the slow cooker lid during the cook time, as this can cause too much heat to escape the slow cooker.
• You can serve the chicken and vegetables as is, or use the following steps to brown the chicken and vegetables and make a gravy.

EASY CROCK POT ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Crumple up 4-5 foil pieces into balls, or wrap potatoes in foil and place at bottom of crock pot. This will keep the chicken from sitting in it's juices and will make it roast not boil. Plus, if you do it w/ potatoes, you just have to throw together a salad and you're done.
• Rinse chicken and pat dry w/ paper towels. Sprinkle all over generously w/ seasoned salt.
• Place on top of foil balls in crock pot or on the foil covered potatoes.
• Cover and cook on HIGH (very important), for 6 hours or until chicken is done.

CROCK POT ROTISSERIE STYLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a 5 quart or larger crockpot with nonstick spray.
• Combine all dry ingredients. The cayenne and black pepper are optional, I leave them out because I have small toddlers who don't care for "hot" food.
• Rub the dry ingredients all over the chicken, inside and out, and place in crockpot, breast side down.
• If desired, place onion and garlic inside chicken cavity (I don't use these).
• DO NOT ADD ANY WATER.
• Cook 4-5 hours on high, or 8 hours on low.
• The chicken should be so tender it will fall off the bone. If appearance matters to you, just shove the pieces back together on your platter.
