Instructions

Spray a crock pot with cooking spray. Roll a piece of aluminum foil into a ring to go around the bottom of the crock pot as a rack for the chicken. Place the chicken on top of the aluminum foil ring.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken.
Place the lid on the crock pot and cook on high for 3-4 hours, until a thermometer inserted in the thigh registers at 165°F or higher.
Move the chicken to a sheet pan or baking dish and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until the skin is browned. Serve hot.

Notes

Thawing a frozen chicken. The best way to thaw is in the refrigerator, you'll need 24 hours for every 5 pounds.
Store. Remove the meat from off of the bones. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for 3-4 months.
