***** Rotisserie Style Chicken in the Slow Cooker *****

Rotisserie style chicken in the slow cooker is a 5 star meal here. Various herbs & spices rubbed all over the whole chicken and then set on a bed of aluminum foil and cooked on High for 5-6 hours. The meat literally falls off the bones and tastes SO good. Who needs to spend $8-10 on a store bought rotisserie chicken when you can make your own at home?

Slow Cooker Rotisserie Style Chicken

1 whole chicken (4-7lbs)
3 Tbsp. oil
Herbs/spices (dried) of your choice
2-3 pieces of aluminum foil, balled up

Rub chicken with oil. Rub chicken with herbs/spices, inside & out. Place on bed of aluminum foil balls and cook on high for 5-6 hours.


Cook's Notes:

I generally use canola oil, but olive oil would be awesome too. I also lift the skin on the breast side and rub oil & herbs underneath for even better flavor.

I use a mixture of the following herbs/spices - about 2-3 Tbsp total when all mixed together:
salt & pepper
oregano
granulated garlic
onion powder
rosemary
basil
thyme
sage
crushed red pepper flakes


The best part of this dish for me is that it is relatively easy and I end up getting two meals out of it because I cook two chickens at a time (2 slow cookers). I generally use the left over chicken to make a lovely chicken salad for the next night.
