Cooking a whole chicken in the Crockpot | Slow Cooker Recipes

Today I will show you one of the easiest ways to cook a whole chicken. I am cooking a whole chicken in the slow cooker. The texture is similar to rotisserie chicken. This is gonna be good!

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...

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.💖

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

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

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.

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!! 😊

[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.

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

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!

[lonestar]

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 :)

[pamking]

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

[reneelopez]

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

[jemmaleofitz]

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

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.

[almaandrews]

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

[ronski]

Pretty looks yummy thankyou and you didn't add water amazing

[wilthoniejohnson]

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.

[artsoul-jeanstice]

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! ❤

[georgeleinberger]

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.

[DianeC.]

Hi A!!! Oh... I really like this recipe. I like using my Crock Pots. I have never made a whole chicken in the CP before. I will be doing this real soon. The chicken look so...delish... Great video!!!...
