ROTISSERIE STYLE CHICKEN IN THE CROCK POT
Tender, moist and easily cut off the bone chicken. My family loved this chicken. The spices are very flavorful. When I made this I cut my onion into 4 quarters. I recommend wearing gloves when rubbing the chicken and when putting the chicken in the crockpot as your hand do get messy. I also cooked my chicken for 4 hours and high and it was perfect. I found this recipe on Pinchin Your Pennies.

CROCK POT ROTISSERIE STYLE CHICKEN
This is adapted from "Make it Fast, Cook it Slow" by Stephanie O'Dea. There are similar recipes here but not one quite like this that I've found. While not a TRUE rotisserie chicken, it is much cheaper, and much more accessible since the closest grocery rotisserie chicken I can get is an hour away. You can put this on a "rack" of foil balls in your crock if you'd like to keep the chicken up out of the grease. Also, I save the drippings, bones, and skin, then toss them back in the crock with a couple of cut up carrots, some celery, onion, and garlic and cover with water, cook for a few more hours on low, strain, chill, skim fat, and freeze for homemade rotisserie chicken stock - yum!

Steps:
- Spray the inside of a 5 quart or larger crockpot with nonstick spray.
- Combine all dry ingredients. The cayenne and black pepper are optional, I leave them out because I have small toddlers who don't care for "hot" food.
- Rub the dry ingredients all over the chicken, inside and out, and place in crockpot, breast side down.
- If desired, place onion and garlic inside chicken cavity (I don't use these).
- DO NOT ADD ANY WATER.
- Cook 4-5 hours on high, or 8 hours on low.
- The chicken should be so tender it will fall off the bone. If appearance matters to you, just shove the pieces back together on your platter.

ROTISSERIE-STYLE CHICKEN
My mother used to fix this rotisserie-style chicken when I lived at home, and we called it Church Chicken because Mom would put it in the oven Sunday morning before we left for church. When we got home, the aroma of the roasted chicken would hit us as we opened the door. -Brian Stevenson, Grand Rapids, Michigan

GARLIC-ROSEMARY SLOW COOKER WHOLE CHICKEN
Once you try making a whole chicken in the slow cooker, you'll never want to roast it the old way again. In the slow cooker you'll get the moistest, most fool-proof, and hands-off whole chicken that you'll ever make. This recipe uses generous amounts of rosemary and garlic that not only infuse into the chicken, but also season the potatoes that cook underneath the chicken for a savory one-pot meal.

Steps:
- Place potatoes in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add onion over the top of the potatoes.
- Remove the chicken parts inside the cavity and pat the outside of the chicken dry. Slice deep, garlic clove-width slits into your chicken with a knife. Make 4 cuts on each side of the chicken, and 1 in each of the drumsticks. Stick a sliver of garlic deep into each cut. Place the remaining chunks of garlic into the cavity.
- Starting on the back of the chicken, season generously with about 1/2 of the rosemary and cracked salt and pepper. Add some seasoning inside the chicken's cavity as well. Flip the chicken and place it breast side up in the slow cooker on top of the potatoes and onions. Season the top of the chicken generously with the remaining rosemary and more cracked salt and pepper.
- Cook on Low until the chicken is cooked through completely and the juices run clear when the chicken is cut, 8 to 10 hours, depending on the size. Serve with the potatoes and onions from the pot.

- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
