SLOW COOKER "ROTISSERIE" CHICKEN
Steps:
- Rinse the chicken thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder until combined. Rub the seasoning mix all over chicken -- on the outside skin, the inside cavity, and (if you're feeling brave) on the chicken breasts underneath the skin. Roll up a few small balls of aluminum foil (or thickly slice some onions, and/or veggies) place them on the bottom of your slow cooker bowl to serve as a "rack" for the chicken, so that it doesn't have to cook in the juices that will accumulate in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the chicken on top of the aluminum foil (or veggies), pressing it down a bit if need be for the lid to fit. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker (it may be so tender that it falls apart on you), discard the bones, and serve the chicken as desired. *I used this small 3-quart slow cooker, and the chicken just barely fit. (It also shrunk down a bit while cooking.)
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For best results, use a whole chicken that is about 3 to 4 pounds. A larger chicken may not cook evenly in the slow cooker.
- Season the chicken generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to season the chicken. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Place the chicken on a bed of vegetables: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. Good choices for vegetables include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Add liquid to the slow cooker: This will help to create a moist cooking environment. You can use water, chicken broth, or white wine.
- Cook the chicken on low for 6 to 8 hours: This will allow the chicken to cook slowly and evenly. If you are using a frozen chicken, cook it for 10 to 12 hours.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker rotisserie chicken is an easy and delicious way to cook a whole chicken. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a flavorful and juicy chicken that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for dinner with your family or friends, or taking it to a potluck, slow cooker rotisserie chicken is sure to be a hit.
