Easiest EVER chicken.
- Peel and very rough chop a large onion, or two small ones. (In half if its small or in quarters if its large) . This onion isn’t consumed , so it works even if someone doesn’t like onions.
- Put in bottom of a slow cooker.
- Take the chicken out of the package. I do this in a clean sink. Drain any liquid off of it. Place chicken on a plate and dry with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle with a dry rub.
- Place chicken in slow cooker.
- Cook 1 hour per pound on high heat or until the chicken tests done....I use 180 degrees as a benchmark and when its no longer pink.
This chicken will not have a crispy crust. It will make a good stock base. Put it through a colander. The breast is usually intact, the rest of the chicken will be good for soup, enchiladas, etc.
I discovered this recipe when I walked into our Kroger and they had whole chickens marked .50 per pound because the pull date was the next day. I bought three and cooked two in the oven and one in the slow cooker.
