Healthy lifestyle – roasted chicken crockpot style!

Here goes nothing! This morning I need to get a chicken going for tonight's dinner, but the middle of the day is pretty busy and I don't want to be thinking about this after Christians therapy because I'm usually shot by then. That's a surefire recipe for driving through for dinner, which we really don't want! I haven't really decided what to use the chicken for yet, but it's sure to be a very juicy specimen. I read through several ideas for crockpot chicken on Pinterest, and blended some ideas I found with my on spice blend and my personal tip: cook your chicken breast side down! Gasp! Heresy! But the reviews don't lie, I have been doing my turkey and my chicken like this for a few years now and I am telling you – it comes out with the juiciest chicken breast ever! Turkey breast, too. I will update this blog post after it is done, but for now here are the steps that I followed:

Thaw one frozen large whole chicken overnight, Or better yet, use a fresh chicken!

Remove innards, rinse and pat dry.

Place a 2 – foot length of foil in crockpot.

Place chicken breast side up into crockpot, and doused with your favorite spices. I used garlic powder, no salt seasoning from Costco, and smoked Paprika. Flip the chicken onto its breast, and repeat with seasonings on the underside. I am very generous with my spices, because we do remove the skin and this causes The flavore to permeate the chicken. You could put it under the skin but that's a lot of work LOL

Fold foil over chicken, cover, and cook on low for four hours.

When the four hours is over, I will probably leave it on warm til 20 mins before dinner, when I will brown it under the broiler.

See you then!

Mmmmm....My house smells wonderful! We are going to break this chicken down and use it for salad, tacos, and gluten free pizza. Yay!
