Ingredients
Scale
- 4 to 5 pounds roasting chicken (bag and giblets removed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon table salt)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound red potatoes (about 5 medium, cut into wedges)
- 2 medium carrots (cut into pieces)
- 1 medium yellow onion (cut into wedges)
Instructions
- Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Rub the chicken with olive oil, combining seasonings in a small bowl to sprinkle over the chicken. Tuck chicken wings beneath to prevent burning.
- Place cut vegetables into the bottom of the slow cooker, then place the chicken on top. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, placing the chicken on it and broil on low for 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Tent the chicken with foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- If the vegetables aren't done when the chicken is, cover the slow cooker and set to high until the vegetables are soft.
Notes
Using a 6-quart slow cooker is ideal for this recipe, allowing enough space for chicken and vegetables.
Be cautious while broiling to ensure the chicken achieves the perfect color without burning.
