Crock Pot Roasted Chicken is My Favorite!


Slow cooker season has started! I love using the crock pot, almost as much as I love roasted chicken.  It may just be my favorite meal of all time.  Give me some roasted chicken, a sweet potato, and some veggies and I am a happy girl.  Add some stuffing and cranberry sauce and I am in heaven.  

The idea of putting a whole chicken in the crock pot and coming home to deliciousness sounds perfect, so lets do it!

Crock Pot Roasted Whole Chicken





Ingredients

4-6lbs oven roaster chicken
Seasoning of your choice (mine is below)
2 Lemons

Directions

Place chicken in the crock pot.  I like to remove most of the skin before I cook the chicken, keeping the fat content down.

Season chicken with your favorite seasonings.  My seasoning blend is below. Slice the lemon and squeeze the juice all over the chicken.  Place the lemon slices in the cavity and tucked around the chicken. Do not add water.  Cook chicken on low for 7-8 hours or until the chicken reaches 185 degrees.  Remove the chicken and slice it up, or just use a fork because it WILL fall apart!  

Nutritional Facts

Depending on what part of the chicken you are going to eat, will alter your nutritional information.  Below is the nutritional facts for white meat and dark meat (both without the skin)
