Delicious Slow Cooker Roast Chicken Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
14
  • 1 whole chicken (3-4 lbs)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    Remove any giblets from the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels.

    Ensure the chicken is dry for better seasoning adherence.
  2. Season the Chicken

    Rub the chicken with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.

    Make sure to coat the chicken evenly.
  3. Place in Slow Cooker

    Place the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker breast side up.

    This helps keep the meat juicy.
  4. Add Broth

    Pour the chicken broth around the chicken in the slow cooker.

    Avoid pouring directly on the chicken to maintain the seasoning.
  5. Cook the Chicken

    Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until the chicken is fully cooked.

    Use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165°F.
