Ingredients
- 1 raw whole chicken, about 5 to 6 lbs/2.25 to 3 kg
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dried sage
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp celery salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Remove the chicken from its bag (best to do it at the sink, so the liquid can drain away).
- Rinse chicken with cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl combine oregano, basil, salt, sage, parsley, celery salt, nutmeg, cardamom, paprika and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Using your hands, rub the whole chicken completely in olive oil. Then sprinkle herb mixture evenly over chicken, coating all sides.
- Transfer the chicken into your crock pot.
- All that’s left is to close the lid and slow cook on low 9-10 hours or high 6-8 hours. Your goal is a temperature of 165 degrees (F).
- When it’s done…open up the lid, and turn off the heat. Transfer chicken from crockpot to a large plate, platter, or cutting board. Carve the meat from the bone and serve.
Notes
- When rinsing the chicken before cooking, use a colander. This prevents your chicken from touching the sink (which might not be completely clean and sanitized).

- If you want darker chicken skin, put it under the broiler for a few minutes after it is done in the slow cooker.
- Knowing your crockpot will help you customize your cooking times. Two different brands of slow cookers set on “low” can vary as much as 20 degrees (F). The crockpot I use burns pretty hot, so I often cut back on recommended cooking times by an hour or two.
