CROCK POT ROTISSERIE STYLE CHICKEN



Crock Pot Rotisserie Style Chicken image

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!

Time 8h10m

Yield 1 chicken, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4 -5 lb) whole roasting chickens
3 teaspoons kosher salt (less if you like, this amount approximates the saltiness of the store bought kind)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (you can use regular, I like the smoked flavor)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
4 whole garlic cloves (optional)
1 yellow onion, quartered (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use a whole chicken that is 3 to 4 pounds in weight. A larger chicken may not cook evenly in the slow cooker.
  • Prepare the chicken: Before cooking, remove the giblets from the chicken cavity and pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This will help the chicken to brown evenly.
  • Season the chicken: Rub the chicken with a mixture of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste.
  • Sear the chicken (optional): For a more flavorful chicken, you can sear it in a large skillet over medium-high heat before cooking it in the slow cooker. This will help to brown the chicken and add depth of flavor.
  • Add the chicken to the slow cooker: Place the chicken in the slow cooker and add the onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables.
  • Cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it cool slightly. Then, use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • Serve the chicken: Serve the shredded chicken with your favorite Mexican toppings, such as tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
