Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 whole whole chicken (about 4-5 lbs)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika smoked or sweet, depending on your taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or your favorite herb blend

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme. Massage this mixture all over the chicken.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken breast-side up in your slow cooker without any added liquid.
  2. Set your slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4-5 hours.
  3. Check for doneness using a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165°F in the thickest part of the breast.
  4. Optional: For crispy skin, broil the chicken for a couple of minutes after it's done in the slow cooker.

Notes

You can add sliced onions or quartered lemons to the slow cooker for extra moisture and flavor. Store leftovers shredded in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to 3 months.
