Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole (4-5 pound) chicken, giblets removed (a large roasting chicken, with pop-up timer if possible)
- 1 cup chopped onions (optional)
How to Make
-
Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the spices. Rub spice mixture onto the chicken. Place in resealable plastic bag and refrigerate overnight. (I usually skip this step because I don't plan ahead).
-
Step 2: When ready to cook, put chopped onion in bottom of crock pot. Add chicken. No liquid is needed, the chicken will make it's own juices. Cook on low 4-8 hours. Note: I highly recommend a pop-up timer in the chicken because some crock pots cook faster/slower than others (my crock pot cooks this recipe in 4-5 hours).
