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

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! 

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mix 'er all up!

Cut up an onion...
I used what I had in the fridge, 
1/2 red and 1/2 yellow...

---

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.

And here's what four hours looks like!

Okay, 
I have to say,


 this was the first time I made this chicken, 

and it had a nice scowl on it.

---

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 ...

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

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.

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.

I went ahead and froze the chicken broth...


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