Roast Crock Pot Chicken

Recipe #64588 | ½ day | 10 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Marie

Whole chicken that actually browns in the crock pot. The secret is to place it on top of wadded balls of aluminum foil. Tastes just like it came from the deli.

    I actually made this recipe a long time ago and forget to rate it. I really liked the taste of it and how easy it was to prepare. It did fall apart when removed from the crockpot. Also, it didn't brown all the way, but it was still tasty!

    It was a little tasty and falling off the bone. Maybe I could use more garlic next time. My hubby expected more flavor. It certainly wasn't browned. I might try it again but it's not on my husband's favorite list. I put 2 potatoes wrapped in foil under the chicken. That was helpful and the potatoes were good.

    What a treat to come home to a house smelling of roasted chicken and potatoes after a long, long day of work. I took the suggestion of another cook at added two potatoes wrapped in foil around my chicken and it was just wonderful. Thank you for this terrific suggestion and this terrific recipe.

    I love this trick of roasting chicken in the crockpot. I have cooked this at least 4 times, and most of the skin will cook to almost brown. I did make changes to the ingredients (that's why I'm giving 4, instead of 5 stars). I used the spice blend from ROAST "STICKY" CHICKEN #8782 (I half the cayenne) and pretty much follow the recipe. I rub a small amount of olive oil onto the chicken to help the spices stick, and I place a small pat of real butter under the skin of each breast. I don't refridgerate it, just let it cook over night, at least 10 hrs. Leg will move easily in socket when done. Many people are surprised that it was "roasted" in the crockpot. The chicken is very flavor full and moist(I think the butter helps) and the spices give the skin a nice color. The juices that collect may have to be drained (I used a baster to remove juice)so the chicken isn't sitting in too much, but don't throw it out it's sooo good. Thanks Marie for the "roasting" idea I love it and use it often. I have recieved many requests for this technique.
