Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Chicken
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Granulated garlic
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 White onion
  • 2 Carrots (peeled)

Instructions

  • Trim the chicken by removing any extra fat and make sure to look inside and take out the gizzards if there are any.
  • Pat the chicken dry and pour olive oil over the chicken rubbing it all over the entire chicken.
  • Mix your seasoning together and sprinkle salt all over the top on the bird and then coat the whole bird generously with the seasoning.
  • Prepare your onion and carrots by rough chopping them and placing at the bottom of the crock pot.
  • Place the whole chicken on top of the veggies, put the crock pot on the high setting, cover and cook.
    After about 3 1/2 - 4 hours check the temperature inside the chicken. You want the internal temp to be at least 165 degrees.
  • For crispier skin on the chicken put it in the oven under the broiler for 5-10 minutes. Watch it very carefully because it can burn QUICKLY!
  • Pull the bird and let it rest for 10 minutes or so and then serve and enjoy.
