Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken

So this week was a busy one like many others. Even though it is busy you still want to have a good meal. Crockpot to the rescue!! What you can actually cook in a crockpot will blow your mind. It goes way beyond the typical chili and soups. Ask Mrs. Stephanie over at Crockpot 365, I am sure she would agree. Dont have a crockpot? No worries, I have put up some info in the "Resources" photo album about how to slow cook with your oven.

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken
2 tsp of kosher salt
1 tsp of onion powder

1 tsp of Italian seasoning
1 tsp of paprika
1/2 tsp of dried thyme
1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp of black or lemon pepper

Optional:
pinch of chili pepper
4 whole garlic cloves
1 yellow onion, quartered

Hardware:

Crockpot
1 tbs measuring spoon
1 tsp measuring spoon
1/2 tsp measuring spoon

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl  
2.  Rinse off your chicken and pat dry with a paper towel. Next, rub in the seasonings on the outside and inside of the bird. Put the onions and garlic in the cavity of the bird if you used them.
   When you have used up all of the rub, put your chicken into your crockpot. DO NOT add water to the crockpot.
   Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours
3. When it is finished check to make sure it is at least 165 degrees F in the thigh area. That is one of the thickest places in the chicken 
4. The chicken will be very tender and juicy when it is done. I lost the legs when I was trying to put it on the plate
