What You Need

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried onion
1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1 roasting chicken
Olive oil

What To Do

In a bowl add all the spices together

Mix.

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken – rub the oil on the chicken – make sure the whole chicken has a light coat of oil

Rub spice mixture onto the chicken.

Cook on high for 4 -5 hours – I highly suggest using a meat thermometer to tell that it is done.

Enjoy
I had to take the final picture shot in the crock pot BECAUSE the chicken was falling off the bones.

    I just finished the chicken part of this recipe and I’m now working on the broth part of it!!! If the broth’s as fabulous tasting as the chicken, then I’m officially throwing out my old recipe in lieu of this one!!!!! I’ve never had a chicken so tender that when I poked it with a wooden spoon, it fell into 4 pieces. Thanks Budget Savvy Diva!!!

  • Melissa

    I am trying this tonight! Can’t wait!

  • Diane

    I made this tonight for the first time and it was really good. Mine was done in about 2 1/2 hours on HIGH setting, 180 degrees on a meat thermometer. This is the only way I will roast a whole chicken from now on, besides it doesn’t heat up the house or make a big mess in my oven, YAY!!

  • Chelsea

    made this for the first time yesterday. such a great recipe! and SOOOO easy! chicken was super tender and moist! Will definitely be adding this to our dinner menu at home!

  • Diane Freeman

    Been trying to find different chicken recipes since I have a freezer full of whole birds… So off to Pinterest I went. I tried a bunch and out of all of them all my family loved this one the most. It’s amazingly tender… Good flavor. I’ll be adding it to the recipes I’m handing the daughter in laws. Nice and easy and yummy too. Cheers

    Im dying to try this tonight… Im out of olive oil… I have butter, sunflower and vegetable oil. Can i use one of these instead?

    • Watson

      I would use butter 🙂

      • joyce

        Thanks! 🙂

  • Kim

    Found whole chicken on sale this week and was looking for a recipe since I had never done it myself before…this one will become a regular at our house! Thanks for sharing!!

  • Melanie Beck

    This sounds awesome! Love chicken, it’s a staple at my house. Will try this next time!

    Easily my favorite crock pot chicken recipe. I use the meat for sandwiches, soups and casseroles.

  • Allie Talley

    This quickly took the place of my old roast chicken recipe! Love it!

  • Miranda

    This looks so tasty!

  • Shan

    Is it necessary to cook it on high? I would prefer to cook over low so I can put it on in the morning and have it ready for an early dinner.

  • Yvonne

    Can the bird be frosen?

  • Ashley

    This may sound silly but do you put any liquid in the crock pot with it or do you just use the ingredients listed?

    I made this tonight and followed directions exactly, though I did season underneath the breasts as well. Chicken cooked for 5 hrs on high in my 4 quart slow cooker. It came out perfect! Very moist. Will definitely be making again.
