Whole Rubbed Chicken In A Crock Pot image

The marriage of a dry rub and a crock pot is delicious. I rubbed my chicken with the rub 2 days prior to cooking it to ensure the flavours got into the meat. It worked perfectly. I also put an assortment of veggies under the chicken to create a nice bed to add more flavour. The meat on the chicken was so tender it just fell...

Categories     Chicken

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

FOR THE RUB
4 tsp sea salt
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic salt
2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 large roasting chicken
1 c chopped onion
assorted root vegetables (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. I used my 7 qt. Kitchen Aid crock pot. It was just the right size for this recipe. My chicken was 4 lbs.
  • 2. Combine all the spices in a small bowl.
  • 3. Clean your whole chicken and pat dry. If you have any giblets remove them.
  • 4. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken. If you want to cure the chicken for a day or two in the fridge, then put the rubbed chicken in a large reusable plastic zip lock type bag.
  • 5. Once you're ready to cook the chicken, peel and clean your veggies (if using) and put them in the bottom of the crock pot. Lay the chicken on top of the veggies and turn the crock pot on to high. Put a 1/2 cup of chicken broth in the bottom of the crock pot.
  • 6. My crock pot gets really hot, so it takes a very short time to cook my food in it. The veggies and chicken all cooked in 3 1/2-4 hours on high. Check the food after about 2 1/2 hours if you are using the same method as I am. It might surprise you how fast this can cook. You can of course cook this on low for 6 hours if you wish. Just check the food at least an hour before the time is up to make sure it isn't over cooked.
  • 7. Enjoy!

This recipe is a lifesaver for busy weeknights. I can just throw the chicken in the crock pot in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home from work. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the rub is so flavorful.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I've used different rubs and spices, and it always turns out great. I also like that I can cook the chicken on low for a longer period of time, which makes it even more tender.
