30 Reviews of Roast Crock Pot Chicken

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.

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.

I tried this using a PORK BUTT roast (trimmed of fat) and it was wonderfully moist and tender. Can't wait to try it with a BEEF roast next. Thank you from a dedicated crockpot user!

Rates 5-Stars or more! This worked wonderfully - and the fat drained off the chicken, too. I inserted a large branch of rosemary into cavity of chicken and sprinkled my special herbs on top. I'm going to try this method to cook chicken breasts, thighs, etc. to make chicken salad as it retains more flavor and less fat than stewed chicken. Thanks for the wonderful idea!

I am so sorry but this did not work for me. I prepared a 4lb bird and followed all the steps according to the recipe, however when I returned from work the chick was not only not done (11 1/2 hours) but also it was yellowish and rubbery. I was able to take it out of the crockpot and it had no indications of falling apart. I placed it in the oven to finish cooking and browning. We felt it was lacking in flavor as well. Perhaps adding fresh herbs to the cavity, and half a lemon would have bumped up the flavors. Once again I am sorry as I was really excited to have a roast chicken from my crockpot and not have to heat up the kitchen.

I made this chicken today and it fell off the bones. It was so moist and tender and the trick with the foil is a keeper! It drained all the fat away from the chicken. Bravo!! Thanks for this recipe!!

I saw this recipe and just knew I had to try it. I sure am happy I did. The chicken was moist and flavorful. So tender it fell off the bone. I made the recipe exactly as directed and I will be making it again soon. Thank You!

The chicken was very tender and did fall off of the bones. However, I had to drain the juices from the crockpot a few times. The breast skin didn't brown for me.

This was super super easy.I've done this twice after finding this recipe. The 1st time,I followed the recipe to a T... I was really worried that the bird was going to stay a sickly looking pale yellow, but it did brown up to a nice sheen. The meat fell off the bone, and the liquid made a flavorful sauce/broth. The 2nd time I tinkered with adding fresh rosemary & a bit of seasoned salt inside and lemon juice and butter on the outside. Very Good! Thank You Marie! I'll use this recipe & method of crock potting, and pass it on!

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!
