Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 3-4 lbs Whole chicken
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth (optional)
- 3 balls Aluminum foil (optional for elevation)
Instructions
Remove the giblets from the cavity of the chicken, then rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme to create the rub.
Brush the chicken with olive oil to coat the surface evenly.
Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, including the cavity, making sure to evenly cover the skin for maximum flavor.
If desired, roll aluminum foil into 3 small balls and place them in the bottom of the crock pot to elevate the chicken off the bottom. This helps the chicken cook evenly and prevents it from sitting in its juices.
Place the seasoned chicken breast-side up into the crock pot. If using, pour the chicken broth around the chicken to keep it moist during cooking.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast.
Carefully remove the chicken from the crock pot. For crispy skin, you can place the chicken under a broiler for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve warm and enjoy!
