Slow Cooker Whole Chicken - Rotisserie Style
Description
The recipe calls for placing large chunks of carrots, parsnip, and onion into the slow cooker first to create a flavorful base. The whole chicken, after removing giblets, is coated with a dry rub of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Placing the chicken skin-side-up on the vegetables allows it to cook evenly and absorb flavors.
Cooking on low heat for 7 to 8 hours yields a tender, well-cooked chicken with soft vegetables that have absorbed the herbs and spices. This slow method mimics the aroma and taste of a rotisserie chicken without the need for a rotisserie or oven roasting.
This dish can serve as a hands-off dinner option with vegetables already included, suitable for family meals or easy entertaining.
Ingredients
- 2 carrot cut into large chunks, large
- 1 parsnip cut into large chunks

- Sprinkle the herbs and spices onto the chicken and rub them in and all around with your hands. Then place the chicken in the slow cooker on top of the vegetables.
