Fall off the bone Roasted chicken (slow cooker or oven roasted)
Since I work evenings and nights answering 911, I am always trying new slow cooker recipes to throw together for my family to eat while I am at work. This is one I created just for a whole chicken and my family loves. Being able to roast a whole chicken in a slow cooker is perfect! If slow cooked Do not use the broth but DO USE lots of seasonings and butter for a moist and delicious chicken. Try Experimenting with your favorite seasonings and even different chicken cuts.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash and dry the chicken, inside and out well
- 2
Spray the crock pot or roasting pan with non stick spray

Once chicken is dry, separate the skin from the breast just enough to get 2 fingers with the butter and garlic mixture between the skin and the meat, place 1/4th of mixture on each breast, pull the skin back down and criss cross together sealing with a toothpick. Tie the legs together. Flip the chicken over and repeat between the rib meat and skin. Now, massage the skin with butter or olive oil. Really massage that bird....all over, don't forget the cavity. Then season the whole chicken, inside and out liberally with paprika, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. I sometimes add dry Italian dressing seasoning and lemon.

Pour half of the broth on the bottom of the crock pot or roasting pan. Add all your veggies and remaining broth. This adds a lot of liquid so if you put in crock and plan on not browning the chicken, omit the broth, just SEASON WELL. . Place seasoned chicken breast side down on top of vegies. Yes....breast side down! This keeps the breast meat really really tender and so so juicy. For Slow cooker: Cover and cook 4-6 hours on high or 6-8 hrs on low, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Remember, Not all crock pots cook the same. Mine takes about 4-5hrs on high, 6 hours on low. For Oven/Roasting pan: see note below

Optional for gravy. Slow cooker: Remove chicken and vegies to a cookie sheet or roasting pan, broil in a 400°F oven until chicken is browned. If Oven roasted: remove chicken and vegies to serving plate and cover. Then... Mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch to 2 tbsp of water, mix well and add to crock pot or roasting pan, scraping the yummy bits on the bottom, bring to boil and simmer for 10 minutes, for gravy. If its to thick slowly add alittle more broth to your desired consistency. My hubs skips this step when I'm working and just uses the yummy broth so I season the bird really REALLY WELL originally.. No matter how you cook it, Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Note: You can roast in the oven at 375°F covered for 2 hrs instead of using the crock pot. Just baste it every so often and make sure you Cook breast side down, uncover and flip at the 2 1/2 hr mark and roast for 30 minutes uncovered or until breast side is a golden brown. Gives a crispy skin.

My family and I like roasted chickens but we dislike using the oven to make some. The cleaning up afterward is not something that we look forward to. After some experimentation I found out that you can roast chicken in slow cookers. This is easy and the chicken is moist and tender.

Whole Roasted Chicken Whole Roasted Chicken
My children asked I roast a whole chicken for Christmas 5 years ago and they loved it. Since then I have repeated this every Christmas. This year I shared this recipe at my cooking lessons.The chicken is very tender and juicy when cooked this way.Salt and pepper the outside of the chicken generously. They are going to come off with the cooking juice and the resultant chicken will be tasteless.You can use thyme instead if you can not find any rosemary. Recipe by Dauri

I made this when I had a X'mas party with my friends.Simple and easy but more popular than the dishes I spent a lot more time on.Using garlic soy sauce, garlic soaked in soy sauce, instead of grating garlic and mixing it with soy sauce makes it easier. It smells really good and makes you hungry. Recipe by Nacchi sencho -

I don't usually keep track of the amounts of ingredients, but this time I did.Corning game hen is a small wild bird in France.It's a perfect size for 2 people, so we use this, but you can of course use a regular chicken too.If using a regular sized chicken, you can probably use all of the stuffing.In that case, the baking time will probably take more than 1 1/2 hours.I made the roasted potatoes by wrapping them in foil and baking with the chicken.
