Whole Chicken Crock Pot Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 teaspoons salt (per recipe reviews, 2 tsp is better)
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large roasting chicken (with pop-up timer if possible)
• 1 cup chopped onion (optional)

Directions:

1. 1
   In a small bowl, combine the spices.
2. 2
   Remove any giblets from chicken and clean chicken.
3. 3
   Rub spice mixture onto the chicken.
4. 4
   Place in resealable plastic bag and refrigerate overnight. (I usually skip this step because I'm always in a hurry).
5. 5
   When ready to cook, put chopped onion in bottom of crock pot.
6. 6
   Add chicken. No liquid is needed, the chicken will make it's own juices.
7. 7
   Cook on low 4-8 hours.
8. 8
   Note: I highly recommend a pop-up timer in the chicken because some crock pots cook faster/slower than others (my crock pot cooks this recipe in 4-5 hours).
