Whole Chicken in the Crock Pot

This is something you can season up so many ways and can eat on its own, make in to sandwiches, or make a gravy and put it over rice or pasta.

I have always roasted my whole chickens in the oven and they turn out great. It was Labor Day when I made this and here in Florida it is still HOT and having my oven on was not something I wanted to do plus we were going to be at the pool most of the day. So I thought lets try the crock pot, I am not big on chicken in the crock pot because I feel you can over cook it too easily. Being a whole chicken and since I was going to use the crock pot after for bone broth anyway I gave it a try and glad I did.

How I did my Chicken:

• I put big cuts of onion, carrots and celery and garlic cloves in the bottom of the pot for the chicken to sit on top of.

 Seasoned it with:

• 1/4 tsp Curry Powder
• 1/4 tsp Cayenne Red Pepper
• 1/4 tsp Celery Salt
• 1/4 tsp Dried Parsley
• 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp Salt

I mixed all the seasoning in with coconut oil and rubbed it all over the chicken and under the skin.
Placed breast side down and cooked on low for 6 hours. Do not add liquid it will make enough on its own.

It fell off the bone, was so flavorful and tender! We had friends over for dinner and I got a thumbs up from all the full mouths! My husband was the only one who wasn't a big fan but he doesn't like shredded or pulled chicken though said the flavor was good.

Don't forget to save the bones for Bone Broth

Enjoy!

This was a little rich for me and my sensitive tummy or it could of been I had garlic potatoes with it... But just made my stomach talk to me a little, didn't upset it or anything and was so tasty I was fine with a little grumble. ;-)
