Slow Cooker Whole Chicken {much better than buying a rotisserie chicken!}

SLOW COOKER WHOLE CHICKEN
-------------Click on "SHOW MORE" to see the FULL RECIPE-------------
We love making a whole chicken in the slow cooker instead of buying a rotisserie chicken. Use the leftovers for tacos or soup the next day.
RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS:
5 lb. small whole chicken (look for a chicken that is on the smaller size around 4-5 lbs.)
1/2 cup butter
1 lemon (optional)
4 carrots - peeled and halved
1 red onion - peeled and quartered
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
SLOW COOKER SIZE: 6-quart or larger
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add the carrots and onion to the bottom of the slow cooker.
Remove the chicken from its packaging. Remove any extra parts or packaging from the inside of the chicken. Drain off any liquid from the inside of the chicken.
Add the chicken on top of the vegetables.
Pour over the melted butter over the chicken.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze over the chicken.
Sprinkle over the seasonings evenly.
Place the lid on the slow cooker.
Cook on LOW for 7-8 hours. This can vary for each chicken you cook, for they can vary in size. You know the chicken is done cooking when the drumsticks start pulling away from the breasts and the juices run clear. If you are concerned if your chicken is done, use a thermometer. 165° Fahrenheit is the safe temperature for chicken.

Great recipe! I slow cook my chicken the same way, but I like to dry rub the spices on the chicken first before pouring the butter. That way it locks in all those flavours!

[@anilatahir4272]

[@streetchat5054]

Thanks 👍 I'll try that next time

[@Nagisasan36]

Just made this. Very tasty will definitely remember this. Very quick to prepare. I'm slow but it was done in under 10 minutes. I mixed all the herbs etc then sprinkled them all on in one go. Even though no water goes in, it produces about 2 inches of fluid, which reduces to about an inch after 8 hours. This time I just ladled some of the juice over the breast, but next time I might try using it as a base for a gravy. Love the brevity of this video. No waffle. Good job, thanks 👍

Made this today... so good! The meat just falls off the bones and is so juicy and tender! Easy to pick the meat off the bones with a fork. I ran the drippings through a fat separator and added it to some gravy mix drizzle over the meat. It probably could have been a gravy all by itself, but the seasoning mix made it a little richer. YUM! I love how quick your videos are... don't need all the lengthy time-consuming explanations, the short video of all the key steps tell the story quite adequately.

Although this looks delicious I wonder: isn't the skin very rubbery? Also: aren't the veggies floating in chicken fat? Other than that: Can't wait to try it!

[@sunshineNshit]

The veggies are floating I'm the chicken drippings which adds flavor. It's the drippings you make the gravy with anyway.

[@billb.5183]

I roast my veggies separately. It's just my preference. I don't care for how they taste after 8 hours of soaking in chicken drippings.

[@sunshineNshit]

@@billb.5183 I feel like the veggies are to add flavor to the chicken more than the other way around. Plus it keeps the chicken from being submerged so you can get that nice golden color on the top of the chicken. I would just use the stick that's left in the bottom to make a gravy. I personally don't like cooked carrots but they make for a great chicken stock. If someone wants to eat them the stock they are bathing in would add more flavor IMO.

[@dangler1907]

For health reasons, I don't eat the skin. But leaving it on while cooking improves the moisture of the meat.

[@cukoococcopuffs]

Omg this looks good but sad the gravy wasn’t made too..

[@spqrd13]

Gravy is easy. What I did was take the chicken out of the pot after its done, drain the juices into a sauce pan and reduce it till there is very little water in fat and start adding flour to it and stirring it until I got a decent rue and tasted for salt levels and then added a quart of chicken stock and stirred until I had a nice gravy. It took quite a bit of flour to get a thick rue because it's so much fat but it's not that big of a deal if you use a little less or a little more than strictly necessary. And I could've used so much more stock but it makes a loooooot of grace so I just used a 3/4 filled stock bottle I had in the fridge. I easily could've used more flour to get a thicker rue and then 1 to 2 quarts of stock to have a full sauce pan of gravy but that's just way to much. Afterwards I put the chicken back in the pot and poured over the gravy cause I didn't really have anywhere else to put it and put in the fridge until an hour before supper and the reheated it in the crock, it was superb. Anyways once you know how to make a gravy they are quite simple. Just take the juices of whatever meat you've cooked, add a little more fat if you need to, reduce till there's no more water, which is to say no more steam coming of the liquid and it fizzles rather than boils. And then you start adding flour while stirring until you get a nice rue which I would describe as a paste and then you start adding chicken or beef stock until you get the desired thickness and salt and pepper to taste.

[@2Kaleb]

How to make the gravy?

[@sunshineNshit]

Gravy is pretty easy to make. Take the dripping out (strain the carrots and onions) and put it in a sauce pan. You can add some stock or broth of you don't have enough drippings or want a lighter flavor gravy. Mix corn starch and water to make a watery paste and slowly add that to the drippings about 1tsp at a time and cook on med high to high for a few minutes after each tsp until you each your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.

[@sunshineNshit]

If you want to make the gravy a little healthier let the drippings sit in a bowl or something like that for a few minutes on the counter. The fat will seperate to the top and you can skim that off with a spoon so your just left with the drippings but with less fat.

[@lolamichelle]

Can you baste the chicken while it’s cooking?

[@TheMagicalSlowCooker]

Tina C maybe once would be fine though you may need to add more cooking time. You lose about 30 mins of cooking time every time you open the lid. :)

[@dangler1907]

Not sure of the need? I don't think it will change the flavor of the meat at all. In fact, most chefs don't even recommend basting a bird in the oven these days let alone in a moist environment like a slo cooker. I basted turkey for years, but tried it one year without basting and there was no noticeable difference. (For oven roasting, you can baste once close to the end of cooking time just to crisp/brown the skin if necessary).

Is the melted butter really worth it

[@bearpawz_]

Hmm. 🤔 Great question Patricio! I have a crockpot cookbook that I bought not long ago and I tore the house apart looking for it today.. No clue where I put it.. 😫 (That's how I wound up searching on here, LOL..)... I added some onions and celery (I'll add the fresh carrots later on so they don't get too mushy).. Don't want my big, plump chicken sitting on carrots for that long.. BTW, I still haven't watched the rest of the video yet 😆.... I saw your question & some of the other comments while I was watching it and put it on pause. I added a small touch of chicken stock over the onions & celery (just a bit) and I did reduce the butter.. Ok.. now that I've bored you all to tears, I'll go back and watch the rest of the video. If it turns out too greasy (like Karen Critchlow mentioned below).... I'll see what I can do about skimming it out. Anyway .... thanks Patricio, Karen, and all the others who left comments. THEY ARE SO HELPFUL !! (Thanks to the video creator too... hope mine turns out okay!) 😆😋

Seasoning only the top of this chicken will leave the rest of it without flavor. I know certain people don't clean their chicken which is why i don't eat chicken unless i make it but it needs to be cleaned first not just drained and put in a crock pot but too each his own. Brining it first gives the best flavor.

[@cvd5656]

Yes I totally agree with you! I don't understand why ppl don't wash the meat! I always wash me meats and vegetables before I cook them. What ingredients do you use to brine yours?

[@dangler1907]

Health experts say that washing is unnecessary because cooking kills any bacteria. Handling uncooked chicken or turkey can also spread bacteria. Cooking experts generally don't recommend washing either because it tends to add unnecessary moisture and "stews" the meat. Like most, I used to wash first, but times have changed (for the better I think).

@Thanos fat is not technically unhealthy. Industrial chickens that we buy from regular store will likely have unhealthy fats due to the way they were raised in a non humane conditions and inappropriate diet but if you are consuming fat from animal raised on the natural condition, pasture raised they will have healthy fats with a balanced ratio of omega 3/omega 6 . So the problem is not on the fat itself, if you don't know 60% our brain is made out of fats.

But why 8 hours why not put it in the oven for 1 hour

[@TheMagicalSlowCooker]

EVERYTHING is quicker in the oven. This channel is for people who like to cook things in the crockpot. You can go to work and walk in to dinner done! Not have to prepare and wait an hour.

That looks dry as hell no thanks

I think the spices form a bit of a crispy, "browned" skin texture, otherwise it would be pale and slimey to rubbery?
