SLOW COOKER "ROTISSERIE" CHICKEN
Steps:
- Rinse the chicken thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder until combined. Rub the seasoning mix all over chicken -- on the outside skin, the inside cavity, and (if you're feeling brave) on the chicken breasts underneath the skin. Roll up a few small balls of aluminum foil (or thickly slice some onions, and/or veggies) place them on the bottom of your slow cooker bowl to serve as a "rack" for the chicken, so that it doesn't have to cook in the juices that will accumulate in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the chicken on top of the aluminum foil (or veggies), pressing it down a bit if need be for the lid to fit. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker (it may be so tender that it falls apart on you), discard the bones, and serve the chicken as desired. *I used this small 3-quart slow cooker, and the chicken just barely fit. (It also shrunk down a bit while cooking.)
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Opt for a whole chicken that is about 3 to 4 pounds in size for best results.
- Prepare your chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out, pat it dry with paper towels, and remove any excess fat or skin.
- Season your chicken: Generously season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings or herbs.
- Make the rotisserie: Assemble the rotisserie attachment according to the manufacturer's instructions, making sure it is securely attached to your slow cooker.
- Cook the chicken: Place the chicken on the rotisserie spit and secure it in place. Set the slow cooker to the appropriate setting (usually low or medium) and cook the chicken for the recommended amount of time, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy a delicious and flavorful rotisserie chicken made right in your slow cooker. This hands-off cooking method is perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends. Experiment with different seasonings and marinades to create a variety of flavorful chicken dishes.
