🛒 What You’ll Need
🍗 1 whole chicken (about 4–5 lb)
🧂 2 tbsp seasoning blend — poultry seasoning, seasoned salt, or your favorite chicken seasoning
🧈 3 tbsp butter, softened
👩🍳 How to Make It
1️⃣ Prep the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
Remove any giblets from inside the cavity.
2️⃣ Season generously
Rub the softened butter all over the chicken.
Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the entire chicken, including the cavity if desired.
3️⃣ Into the slow cooker
Place the chicken breast-side up in the slow cooker.
You don't need to add water—the chicken will release plenty of juices as it cooks.
4️⃣ Let it cook
Cover and cook on LOW for about 5–7 hours, depending on the size of your chicken.
The most important thing is temperature: the thickest part of the chicken should reach 165°F.
5️⃣ Want crispy skin? 🔥
Slow cooking gives you incredibly tender meat, but the skin won't become truly crisp in the slow cooker.
For crispy, golden skin, carefully transfer the cooked chicken to a baking sheet and place it under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely.
6️⃣ Rest before carving
Let the chicken rest for about 10–15 minutes before carving.
Then serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy! 🍗❤️
✨ Easy Ways to Serve It
🥔 Mashed potatoes
🥕 Roasted vegetables
🌽 Buttered corn
🥗 Fresh green salad
🍞 Warm dinner rolls
And don't forget those leftovers!
Use the shredded chicken for sandwiches, tacos, casseroles, soups, or chicken salad.
💡 A Little Tip
For the best result, use a meat thermometer rather than relying only on cooking time.
Slow cookers can vary, and chicken is safely cooked when the thickest part reaches 165°F.
