Easy Crock Pot Whole Chicken
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (4-5 pounds)
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp poultry seasoning (no MSG)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/4 tsp black pepper
Directions:

1. Get your crock pot or slow cooker whatever you want to call it. Lightly grease the bottom of the crock pot.
2. If needed remove the bag from the inside of the chicken. Rinse the chicken thoroughly inside and out under water. Pat dry with paper towels.
3. In a small bowl combine the olive oil, poultry seasoning, salt, paprika, granulated garlic and pepper.
4. Using your fingers, gently slide your fingers under the skin, without tearing the skin, separate the skin from the meat of the breast. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, inside and out and under the skin on the breast meat.
5. Place the chicken, breast side down, into the crock pot. Cover with the lid. (No need to add any liquid to the crock pot).
6. Set your crock pot to cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 4 hours.
7. The chicken is done when a thermometer registers 170F. Remove the chicken from the crock pot and let the chicken rest for at least 10 – 20 minutes before carving. The meat continues cooking during this resting period and the juices will redistribute through the meat.
8. Cut the chicken and serve.
