Slow Cooker Whole Roasted Chicken

Slow cooker whole chicken? Have I lost my mind? Yes, and no. I do lose my mind, on occasion, but this time…and in this case (regarding the slow cooker whole chicken) I have not lost my mind. This ridiculously easy recipe will allow you to have a delicious dinner on the table no matter how hectic your day has been. And even better than that? You’ll have delicious leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch or dinner. Sounds like a winner to me!

You do know how much I love roasted chicken (I’ve got 3 or 4 recipes on the site as proof). The thing about making it a is that the chicken comes out like those rotisserie chickens you hurriedly pick up from the store as you’re rushing home from work so you can have something to eat after a long day. Now you can make the same thing (only better, because you know what’s actually going into making that bird taste good) at home.

I lined the bottom of my slow cooker with things like onions, carrots, garlic and lemon. This serves a dual purpose…it helps to keep the chicken somewhat elevated, and out of the juices, but it also adds a ton of flavor to the chicken. I then stuffed the chicken with my favorite ingredients and rubbed the skin with a garlic clove and seasoning. Next, I popped the lid on, set the temperature to low, set the timer for 6 hours and it was done. -ish. I say -ish because I wanted to crisp up the skin, so I put it in a 9×13 pan and popped it under the broiler for 3 minutes. Then it was done.

You can rub any kind of spice combo you like on this chicken, you won’t be heating up your kitchen and you don’t even have to be home to cook it. How brilliant is that? I see a lot of slow cooker whole chicken in my future because it’s just so easy. I also really like that once I pull all the meat off the bones I can chuck the bones into a pot with some veg and make up a batch of chicken broth and I’ve only got two cooking vessels to wash (okay…3 if you want to crisp up that chicken skin).

Fall is pretty much here (deny it all you want) so break out that slow cooker and use this slow cooker whole chicken recipe to break it in this season.

You also require something to provide food and also water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water dish from the feed store, or a pickle jar lid for food and an animal bird water dispenser from an animal shop. Additionally, as the chicks grow older you can introduce a perch right into the habitat to get them educated on perching. Warmth To maintain your chicks warm you need to provide them with a heat source. This can be as straightforward as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from a hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat light bulb additionally work very well (my suggestion).

Be sure to transform the bed linen frequently as well as constantly offer tidy food and water Food and also water. Chicks expand extremely fast which needs plenty of tidy food and water. Supply enough whatsoever times and also inspect frequently to prevent thirsty and also starving chicks.

Dirt Some chicks prefer to obtain a running start on taking dust bathrooms, while others won't use up that activity till they are older. If you have the space in your chick room, introduce a tray of sand or dirt for them to wash in. Focus as well as love There are a few advantages to spending time with your chicks. First off, they will certainly probably bond with you as well as not escape as grownups. Second, if you examine your chicks daily and watch their behavior, you can capture ailment or other troubles previously. Watch out for wheezing, hopping, or other undesirable indicators.
