Crockpot Roast Chicken Recipes

CROCKPOT ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse your chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
• Sprinkle a small amount of the seasoning inside the chicken.
• Brush with the melted butter and then thoroughly coat the outside of the chicken with the remaining seasonings.
• Place 5-6 small foil balls into the bottom of your slow cooker and then place the chicken on top of the balls so it's suspended above the bottom of the crockpot.
• Cover and cook on high 4-5 hours or on low for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is cooked through to a minimum temperature of 165 degrees when tested.

CROCKPOT WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the onion, carrots and potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Arrange them in a single layer as much as possible.
• In a small bowl, stir together the spice rub ingredients: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt and pepper.
• Place the chicken in a baking dish to catch any excess juices. If there is a bag of innards in the cavity of the chicken, remove it and discard. Drain out any liquid that may be in the cavity.
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Loosen the skin around the breasts. Rub the olive oil and then the spice rub over the chicken, rubbing some of the seasoning under the skin on the breasts if possible.
• Place the lemon pieces and fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs in the cavity of the chicken. Optional: tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
• Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker, breast side up. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken registers at least 165° F in the thickest part of the leg, not touching the bone. Avoid opening the slow cooker lid during the cook time, as this can cause too much heat to escape the slow cooker.
• You can serve the chicken and vegetables as is, or use the following steps to brown the chicken and vegetables and make a gravy.

SLOW COOKER ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, steak seasoning, salt, pepper until combined. Rub the seasoning mix all over the outside and inside of the chicken.
• Roll up a few small balls of aluminum foil place them on the bottom of your slow cooker bowl to serve as a "rack" for the chicken, so that it doesn't cook in the juices that will accumulate in the bottom of the slow cooker.
• Place the chicken on top of the aluminum foil (or veggies). Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
• Carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker, it could be so tender it will fall apart.

Steps:

• Make a ring out of aluminum foil and place this in the bottom of your crockpot and place the chicken on top.
• Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, oregano, and chili powder together in a small bowl then sprinkle them over the chicken. Put the lid on the crockpot and set it on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. (see notes)
• Remove the chicken from the crockpot. Pour the liquid in the pot into a small frying pan and bring it to a boil. Whisk the tapioca starch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and add it to the pan. Whisk until the gravy thickens.

ROAST CHICKEN IN THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Crumple three pieces of aluminum foil and place in the middle of your slow cooker.
• Add wine, garlic, onion, celery and carrot.
• Place chicken on top of aluminum foil. (You may have to push the chicken down a bit so it'll all fit in there!).
• Sprinkle chicken with herbs, salt and pepper.
• Set slow cooker to high and cook for 1/2 hour per pound.
• When ready, stick a meat thermometer into leg to ensure it is done. Transfer chicken to a roasting pan and set oven to 500º Fahrenheit.
• Roast for 8-10 minutes, or until skin is golden brown.
• Serve with roast root vegetables, mashed potatoes, or anything else you'd like!
• The best part of this recipe? After your done cooking everything, you'll have a considerable amount of jus left over from the chicken. Whisk it with some cornstarch for a truly delicious gravy, or save it in your fridge or freezer for at-the-ready soup stock when you need it in a pinch. (It's so much better than bouillon.).
