Instructions
- Spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Take some kitchen foil and create a ring on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery to the bottom of the pot.
- Create two strips of foil (by folding over and over) and let them hang over the sides.
- Mix together the seasonings.
- Pat dry the chicken, then rub the seasoning all over the bird.
- Place the chicken inside the slow cooker, on top of the foil strips (and the ring). The foil strips are there to use as handles to lift the bird out once cooked – they do tend to be fall apart tender.
- Cover with lid and cook on HIGH for 4-6 hours, or LOW for 6-8 hours. This timing will vary depending on the size of the bird and your slow cooker.
- When the chicken is ready, (and a thermometer used inside the breast reads 180°F) remove the chicken and put into an oven safe dish.
- Broil for 5 minutes until you get a nice crispy, browned look.
- Serve hot with your choice of sides.
Notes
