So This One Cookbook Author Calls This "The Best Whole Chicken in a Crockpot" And Seriously Dudes, The Chick Ain't Lying

10/19/2014

Hi Hi Guys!!! 
I have a super great, 
whole crockpot chicken recipe 
to share with you! 
I am soooo glad I found this recipe! 

It's called 

The Best Whole Chicken In A Crock Pot.

I'm always dubious when someone titles their recipe "the best" or "best ever" or "absolutely incredible." 
Aren't you?


But this whole chicken in a crockpot really is THE BEST whole chicken in a crockpot! 
Picture







And look at that awesome broth in the bottom that can be refrigerated or froze 
for upcoming soups and dishes!
Picture



I used this crockpot chicken for an apple, black bean and rice recipe one night that called for rotisserie or cooked chicken. We made panini sandwiches out of the leftovers the next day and day after.
Picture


So this recipe is from www.100daysofrealfood.com

100 Days is one of my favorite websites, ever! 
This chick, Lisa Leake, is completely 
down-to-earth and she shares all real or whole foods recipes.







Picture
Lisa has a new cookbook.
Her story of how and why she started a website is just so normal....she just wanted her family to start eating better by cutting out 

processed foods.

That could be any of us, right?
We all want to eat better.






Picture
So this is the 
line up of the spices. You probably have all of these in your cabinet.....
Black pepper
salt 
cayenne 
onion powder 
garlic powder  
paprika 
thyme.



Picture


Mix 'er all up!
Picture



Picture


Cut up an onion...
I used what I had in the fridge, 

1/2 red and 1/2 yellow...

Picture




Throw the onions in the bottom of the crockpot first....





Then rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin of the breasts and inside the cavity...and set the chicken on top of the onions in the crockpot. 
Cook on high  for 4 hours.
Picture



And here's what four hours looks like!
Picture


Okay, 
I have to say,


 this was the first time I made this chicken, 

and it had a nice scowl on it.






Picture
Now, 
this is a picture from just TODAY 
(YES, I made it again today!) 
and the scowl isn't there this time, 


but the flavor is still the same!

See all that saucy, brothy flavor and onions up above there???? 



Well, 
stick the broth in the fridge and let the fat form to the top ...
Picture




Now skim that bad old fat from the top and throw 
the fat away!
Picture




The broth on the left there will be frozen for future use 
in a soup. 
The chicken, pulled out of the refrigerated broth, will be used for sandwiches or soup yet this week.
Picture



So out of this one chicken comes a bunch of pulled white and dark meat chicken and about a cup or cup and a half of yummy chicken broth.
Picture



Picture
I went ahead and froze the chicken broth...


will use that in soups and other recipes here in the next few weeks.

Lisa Leake, recipe author

Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne (red) pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
  1. Combine the dried spices in a small bowl.
  2. Loosely chop the onion and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Remove any giblets from the chicken and then rub the spice mixture all over. You can even put some of the spices inside the cavity and under the skin covering the breasts.
  4. Put prepared chicken on top of the onions in the slow cooker, cover it, and turn it on to high. There is no need to add any liquid.
  5. Cook for 4 – 5 hours on high (for a 3 or 4 pound chicken) or until the chicken is falling off the bone. Don't forget to make your homemade stock with the leftover bones!
