Crock Pot Whole Chicken

This post was supposed to go live yesterday,
but I have been crazy sick the last few days
so I am just now getting around to posting.
My apology!

Years ago my brother told me about the blog 100 Days of Real Food
and how the Crock Pot Whole Chicken recipe is so easy and so tasty.
I tried it soon after we talked and have made it multiple times since.

Not only is it really easy to make, but it has so much flavor too!
It's become one of my favorite ways to make a whole chicken
and the best part is that the crock pot does most of the work!

The Goods:
Whole Chicken
Onion
Carrots
Baby Potatoes
Fresh Thyme
Paprika
Salt
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Cayenne Pepper
Black Pepper

Cut up your onion, carrots and baby potatoes, then place in the bottom of your crock pot.
You don't want these too small, but more like bite sized pieces.

Combine all your spices and then rub the mixture ALL over the cleaned chicken.
Place chicken on top of the onions, carrots and potatoes in the crock pot.

Cover with the lid and cook on high for at least 5 hours,
or until the chicken meat is falling off the bones.

After about five hours, you'll have super flavorful chicken, carrots and potatoes.

Totally optional - but I like to make a gravy using the liquid from the crock pot.

Make up a plate, grab yourself a drink and enjoy this yummy dinner!
