Cooking a whole chicken in the Crockpot | Slow Cooker Recipes

[@heidiunderwood9966]

I use butter or oil to add to it then slather it with the seasoning and onions and lemons shoved under skin

[@tired7140]

The first time I tried this recipe I slid a spatula under the chicken and it was so tender the whole bird caved in, the wings and legs fell off on their own. It was the most tender and juicy chicken I've ever made and I make tender chicken. Thank you so much for the recipe and much love.💖

[@sybilreneemcgowan1472]

This has been my preferred way to roast chicken for years. I don’t like the chicken sitting in its own juices as it cooks because it gets mushy. I set the chicken on a rack that keeps it an inch off the bottom. Lots of nice juices for gravy etc. i sometimes put onions, celery and parsley inside for more flavor.

[@silvernblack21]

Setting the chicken on a layer of onions & celery is also an option, in case anyone doesn't have a rack that'll fit their crockpot.

[@youtubewatcher6323]

@@silvernblack21 Also placing it on top of foil balls or rolls or whatever shape. The point is for the chicken not to touch it's own liquid

[@mcomeslast]

I use a small glass (oven safe) pie plate that’s upside down. I did the foil balls just to test it. Now I just invert the plate and put the chicken on top.

[@sharonmckay8280]

Good to know. Health reasons have to stay away from a lot of fats

[@patc1309]

The juices still rise regardless of when I use a rack or set the chicken on a bed of vegetables

[@HighCountryRambler]

Yup I'll be doing this one tomorrow. As a caregiver for my wife, I love low maintenance crockpot meal preps. Beats the hell out of frozen food...

[@SpreadthelovePK]

You’re a beautiful soul! Thank you for this recipe!

[@SammiGirl-bx1th]

Just started roasting my chicken this way a couple of years ago and absolutely LOVE IT! I do put it under the broiler after I take it out just to crisp the skin! But the most tender and juiciest chicken ever!! My wings and drumsticks used to always DRY out on me in the oven - but not with this method!! I do turkey breast this way now too! Thanks for sharing!! 😊

[@n.a.garciafamily]

I do this, demeat the chicken, then put bones back in the crockpot and fill with water and make bone broth overnight.

[@maydaygarden]

I do the same! I also add some veges that are past their prime like onion, carrots, celery and any herbs. The broth is so flavorful from the seasoning that I drink it like tea with a squeeze of lemon after removing the fat after it sits overnight.

[@cobaltblue8363]

I like this suggestion of adding water to make bone broth overnight. I love to add sage and a bay leaf to my veggies as the whole chicken cooks in the crockpot.

[@pamking8137]

Oh my word! Made this today and it was absolutely the best! Seasoning was on spot! Fell off the bone goodness! Thanks, Angelica!

[@cynthiakeller5954]

I want to try this recipe but I'm worried that since the seasoning is on the skin that the meat won't have all the flavor like the skin will have. My husband only eats crispy chicken skin so I'm afraid the seasoning will be a waste. What was your experience with the flavor of the meat?

[@teresamills7146]

@@cynthiakeller5954I know I’m late but I’d suggest cutting the chest down the middle and seasoning the inside as well. If you want crispy skin maybe put it in the broiler after

[@cynthiakeller5954]

@@teresamills7146 That's an excellent idea, thanks!

[@thisintangibleexistence]

Great instructions! Exactly what I was looking for, and you have the same crock pot as me!

[@TVHummingbird]

I just cooked a turkey breast in my Crockpot. It smelled like thanksgiving. I went to the store for rolls and they don't sell them this time of year. I bought the sourdough bread and wow so yummy. I will try your list of seasonings next week on a chicken.

[@lonestar1123]

I never thought about doing it this way, but makes so much sense. Thanks so much for always putting out your videos. I bet your house always smells amazing :)

[@ladinapeikert7141]

Lol i never thought of doing this either and im thinking why have i never done this before, its a no brainer lol

[@CharTurner6928]

Me neither. It's an excellent idea for the times you don't want to heat up the kitchen.

[@jemmaleofitz1152]

I'm trying this idea this weekend with small golden potatoes. Thanks.

[@Cynthia2v]

My kids gave me an enormous oval crockpot several years ago and I can fit two chickens inside. Now to look for a sale! Thanks for sharing!

[@msoda8516]

Cooking it this way is a great way to save the fat and use it for cooking later. Using the chicken fat to fry potato pancakes or sliced potatoes is amazing.

[@wilthoniejohnson9447]

Thank you so much for this recipe. I'm new to crock pot cooking and love a baked chicken. Will be trying this recipe this week.

[@reneelopez902]

I’ve never cooked a whole chicken in the crockpot. I want to try it too now. Thanks for sharing

[@zennabella1676]

YES THE IDEA DOES APPEAL TO ME NOW. I COULD STAR THE CHICKEN AND VEGIES WHEN I GET UP AND HAVE IT IN THE LATE ARVO.

[@georgeleinberger8670]

This perfect for me! I need the chicken for a pot pie recipe and this is an easy way to get juicy meat. I use the drippings and carcass to make some stock.

[@Duddie82]

We have a Hen for New Years 2023. I can hardly wait. That bird will have to cook much longer. I can hardly wait to put a piece of Hen in my rice! God Bless to All.

[@almaandrews8042]

Thnx Angelica. I still use crockpot bags, I’m old fashioned. The method you used saves a lot of kitchen time. 😊

[@Everydayisagood11]

Respectfully, beware of microplastics by using those bags.

[@cyndiabsolon1415]

Definitely going to try this. Spot on with the spices.

[@HavocMaster]

Use a crock pot liner and lift it out when done.

[@SerenitynPeace]

Great idea, too bad I already started it without lol wasn't thinking never did whole chicken this way! Thank you!

[@artsoul-jeanstice5473]

This has been my favorite way to cook whole chickens this year. I love the way the flavor turns out and the meat is so juicy. Not having the crispy skin doesn’t bother us as we don’t eat chicken skin usually. If we want crispy skin we have other recipes for that. Also I love to do this and shred the whole chicken and freeze to meal prep for lazy days! I usually add veg on the bottom if it’s for dinner but now I want to try this seasoning blend you made up for it, sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing we love your videos and recipes in our home! ❤

[@maydaygarden]

I made a double batch of the seasoning to use for future cooks. It works really well and saves money I would spend on a seasoning from Penzey.

You can also make an amazing "rotisserie" chicken in an air fryer. Breast side down for 30 min then flip for 25. It's delicious 😋

[@GenericAccountVLR]

[@jav9888]

I do a similar cook, when im done i add melted butter or your Fav cooking oil and then Broil it 10-15 min more and got the a crispy top thanks for th \e Vid like the ingredients you used.

[@andrewjackson9417]

You could also do this on a pellet cooker outside. With approx 30 seconds of research I found the crock pot temps are 200 on low and 300 on high. I wouldn't do chicken at 200 as there'll be WAY too much smoke, but 300 will give a nice smokey element. Just another option.

[@Jasmine15064]

Just tried this. Added some extra spices. Family was supposed to take it out and do the rest while I was at work. Came home with it set to warm after hours and it was dry af, burnt and flavourless. So much for a chicken gravy from the drippings. Will try again and do it on my own. I guess I’ll be enjoying this on my own next time…

[@jimmys2133]

I love to cook chicken like this when HEB has them in the ad. I usually get a couple of them cook them take the meat off the bone and put it in freezer bags and stick in the freezer for pasta dishes and casseroles. You can usually get 2-3 meals out of one chicken.

[@rosemarytalavera3756]

Do you rinse the chicken first??

@@rosemarytalavera3756 No some people do, but the USDA advises against it because it ends up spreading bacteria everywhere.

If you want it to be crispy you have to add a tsp of baking soda into the seasoning mix. It'll give it a nice crispy crust and just make sure to keep basting it.

I have a crock pot too small so i stopped using it. Thx for showing what size i need to get. This looks delicious. The broth is saveable n freezable for future gravies or meals (chicken soup, etc). Can throw veggies in to make it a full meal too. Edit: try spreading your seasoning underneath the skin too. Makes a world of difference.

I always put veggies in with it. I'm definitely going to try this way. Thank you 😊

My favorite way to cook chicken/ meat ect but pro tip for slow cookers lightly grease the slow cooker ever time for easy clean up ❤🎉

[@cherylgaston479]

If you dont want all that juice on the bottom, getting chicken soggy,make balls of foil and sit the chicken on,comes out tender &juicy on ,comes out tender &juicy

[@cerorchid]

I take it a few steps further. I will take the drippings, remove some of the fat/oil and make homemade gravy. Then i take all the bones, throw them right back in the crockpot with onion, carrots, celery tops and seasoning to make chicken bone broth. From one chicken you get shredded chicken, homemade gravy, and delicious chicken stock. So many recipes can be made. ❤

[@kerrigrandmaison7844]

Looks yummy, gonna have to try this
