Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken - tastes better than store-bought chickens! SO easy. Rub spices on the chicken and pop in the slow cooker. Put cooked chicken under the broiler for a bit to crisp up the skin. Great for dinner or shred chicken and freeze to use in casseroles later. Everyone LOVED this easy slow cooker chicken recipe!
Remove and discard giblets and neck from chicken cavity. Rinse chicken with cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Tie legs together with kitchen twine or cotton string.
Combine flour, paprika, onion power, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, pepper and salt.
Rub chicken thoroughly with seasoning mixture, including inside the cavity.
Place chicken, breast side up, in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours. For crisper skin, broil 5 to 7 minutes in a shallow baking dish before serving.
Notes:
You can rub the chicken with the spices the night before and put it in the slow cooker before you leave for work or school. Can't get much easier than that!!
I like to pop the cooked chicken under the broiler for a bit to crisp up the skin. That is totally optional. If you aren't eating the skin, then you can skip that step. Either way, this chicken is a winner, winner chicken dinner!
Need a gluten-free or low-carb/keto-friendly chicken? Simply omit the flour from the chicken rub.
You can freeze the cooked chicken meat for later. It is great in casseroles and soups.
