This is another slow cooker wonder! Set it in the morning and by the time everyone gets home it is a done deal! The chicken will be falling off the bone...if you choose to eat the skin - a quick trick is to take the chicken out of the cooker, place it on a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes till crispy and just serve it from the baking sheet. I will also tell you at what step to prepare it the night before.
There is also a healthy way to serve this very juicy chicken...when it is ready the skin comes right off...remove the meat from the bones serve it over veggies or your favorite starch.
You can also make this chicken just for picking off the meat...it makes a great chicken salad, fajita filling, lettuce wrap, or spring roll...go chicken crazy!
Ok, here we go,
1 Roasting Chicken (your choice of brand)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
2 Tbls of Pre-Minced Garlic
(or Any seasonings that you like)
1 Large Onion sliced into rings
Clean your chicken, pull out the bag with the neck, giblets, liver, and you can throw these out.
DRY CHICKEN! Very important! This will allow your seasonings to stick.
Season your chicken...no need to add extra fat like butter or oil.
Lay the chicken on top of the onions in the cooker.
***You may stop here,throw the cooker insert in the fridge overnight and just put it on in the morning...or continue and start the cooker.
Set the cooker on low 7-8 hours.
It will create its own cooking liquid, don't use the liquid when it's done... this is the natural fat cooked off the bird. Discard onions, they were just to add sweetness.
Have fun with your chicken, it's very comforting, inexpensive,and very versatile.
