Crockpot Bbq Whole Chicken Recipes

THE BEST CROCKPOT BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season chicken breast lightly (a small pinch per breast) with some sea salt and place in your crockpot.
• In a mixing bowl combine BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well combined.
• Pour over chicken, cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
• Once time is up, you can serve the breast whole, or shred with 2 forks. If shredding, recover and let cook in sauce for about 10-15 more minutes to soak up all that delish flavor.
• Serve on buns, over rice, in wraps, on a salad or eat a plateful as is! Our favorite way is on fresh rolls, topped with coleslaw.

SLOW-COOKER WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Coat the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray and place 3 to 4 canning jar lid bands (without the flat metal rounds) in the bottom. Combine the paprika, garlic powder, pepper, salt, coriander and cumin in a small bowl.
• Dry the chicken well and turn it upside down. Cut a 1-inch-long slit in the skin between the thigh and the backbone on each side. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, making sure both sides are evenly coated, and place the chicken in the slow cooker on top of the lid bands. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 7 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce: Combine the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne and pepper in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the sugar and spices are dissolved and the sauce is thickened. Let cool completely.
• When the chicken is ready, remove the lid from the slow cooker and brush the chicken with barbecue sauce to cover well and let it rest for 10 minutes. Carefully lift the chicken from the slow cooker by putting tongs into the cavity, and sliding a spatula underneath and transfer it to a platter. Serve additional barbecue sauce on the side.

CROCK POT WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the spices.
• Remove any giblets from chicken and clean chicken.
• Rub spice mixture onto the chicken.
• Place in resealable plastic bag and refrigerate overnight. (I usually skip this step because I'm always in a hurry).
• When ready to cook, put chopped onion in bottom of crock pot.
• Add chicken. No liquid is needed, the chicken will make its own juices.
• Cook on low 4-8 hours.
• 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).
