Prep: 5-10 min. / Cook: 9-11 hours
1/2 medium onion, cut into wedges
1 cup chicken broth
1 tsp. paprika
Salt & pepper to taste
Loosely wad up aluminum foil into 3-4" pieces. Place in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Rinse chicken, inside and out; pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place in slow cooker on top of aluminum foil.
Cook on high for 1 hour, then switch to low and cook for another 8-10 hours, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
Notes:
- I didn't measure anything for this recipe, not even the chicken. I just made sure it fit in my crock pot.
- Use your imagination for other "flavors" of chicken.
- This is a great recipe when you want a roasted chicken but don't want to heat up your kitchen.
- I divided up the meat into bags and froze it for later. Excellent idea, as I've got a bunch of recipes that call for rotisserie chicken and I don't want to buy it (granted, this isn't quite rotisserie, but it worked just fine).
- A word of caution: Don't cook it overnight. I made that mistake and ended up having the smell permeate my dreams (no joke). By the time we woke up in the morning, both of us felt sick and neither of us wanted to eat chicken.
