So what do you call it... "CROCK POT" or a SLOW COOKER?"

[marshakirby]

It’s so good to see some good crockpot recipes. I don’t own an insta pot and it seems like every recipe I look for involves an insta pot. Thank you!

[SerenitynPeace]

Why didn't you add time to cook the bird? That's what I was looking for...

Muchas gracias😍 I also put in the juice of an organic Lemon

Im glad you showed me how to mix spices. I didnt know yet.

Im thawing my whole chicken now. First try at a chicken in a crockpot. Thanks for the information.

One suggestion: spray the ceramic pot with Pam or similar non-stick cooking spray. It helps prevent stuff from burning and sticking to the pot.

Hi Crockpot similar to pressure cooker?

[fenradast]

Very interesting. Either you have blunt knife or the chicken was way undercooked. Certainly not fall off the bone.

[roxyarmendariz]

Wow very well explain, pls say the name of the other rxpuces

[bernadette]

What spices did you use and how long did you let it cook for ?

[cynthiakeller]

You made crockpot chicken look so easy and yummy. I want to try your 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. I don't want to use my oven, don't want to heat up my house in this heatwave. What was your experience with the flavor of the meat?

Thanks for the recipe. I am going to cook a chicken in my crock pot tomorrow! Your the man!

[christinewilliams]

Looks wonderful! This will be my first time (tomorrow) cooking a whole chicken in the crockpot. I'm wondering, though, about putting the salt directly on the chicken skin before cooking... won't that dry out the chicken?

[ryliefalls]

What spices did you use for the dry seasoning?

[RickMartinYouTube]

helpful, well-done video - will do it today

[Kevin-gdvv]

Did you put broth beneath it? I’m about to do this with my Turkey

[p.schmidt]

You use the same spices as the ones you used when you cooked the chicken breast in the air fryer????

[p.schmidt]

Do you add any liquid to the crock pot base before adding in the chicken??

[FloridaCatholicGuy]

Use butter instead of oil only use salt and skip the veggies and you have a good carnivore chicken!
