Recipe Summary Garlic-Rosemary Slow Cooker Whole Chicken

Once you try making a whole chicken in the slow cooker, you'll never want to roast it the old way again. In the slow cooker you'll get the moistest, most fool-proof, and hands-off whole chicken that you'll ever make. This recipe uses generous amounts of rosemary and garlic that not only infuse into the chicken, but also season the potatoes that cook underneath the chicken for a savory one-pot meal.

Ingredients | Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Tasty

1 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 medium onion, chopped

1 (4 to 6 pound) whole roasting chicken

6 cloves garlic, halved lengthwise

2 tablespoons rosemary

freshly cracked salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Place potatoes in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add onion over the top of the potatoes.

Remove the chicken parts inside the cavity and pat the outside of the chicken dry. Slice deep, garlic clove-width slits into your chicken with a knife. Make 4 cuts on each side of the chicken, and 1 in each of the drumsticks. Stick a sliver of garlic deep into each cut. Place the remaining chunks of garlic into the cavity.

Starting on the back of the chicken, season generously with about 1/2 of the rosemary and cracked salt and pepper. Add some seasoning inside the chicken's cavity as well. Flip the chicken and place it breast side up in the slow cooker on top of the potatoes and onions. Season the top of the chicken generously with the remaining rosemary and more cracked salt and pepper.

Cook on Low until the chicken is cooked through completely and the juices run clear when the chicken is cut, 8 to 10 hours, depending on the size. Serve with the potatoes and onions from the pot.

If you like your whole chicken to have crispy skin, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker (it might be so tender that it falls off the bone) and place it into a roasting pan or baking dish. Put it under a pre-heated broiler for a few minutes, until you reach the desired color.

You can also cook the chicken on High for 4 to 5 hours.
