Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken
December 4, 2012 by Aimee • 16 Comments
I love home cooked meals that you can throw into the crockpot and the flavors become all savory! Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken is totally that type of a meal. And not only is the chicken tender and delicious for dinner, I get to enjoy the aroma all day long as it slow cooks in my kitchen.
Here’s the ingredient list.
Big B is always in the kitchen ready to help….this time he got an extra kick out of it…being able to make Little B squeal and run was pure, genuine fun.
I always rinse my chicken before proceeding any further. Then I combine my dry ingredients and rub them into the chicken, inside – out. Fill the opening with quartered onions and minced garlic. Then place the chicken in the crockpot breast down. And there it is all gold and beautiful…4-5 hours later
I usually reserve a cup of chicken stock from my Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken and combine it with 2-3 chicken breasts to prepare flavorful shredded chicken in the crockpot.
- 1 (4 -5 lb) whole roasting chickens
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- 4 whole garlic cloves (optional)
- 1 yellow onion, quartered (optional)
- Spray the inside of a 5 quart or larger crockpot with nonstick spray.
- Combine all dry ingredients.
- Rub the dry ingredients all over the chicken, inside and out, and place in crockpot, breast side down.
- Place onion and garlic inside chicken cavity.
- DO NOT ADD ANY WATER.
- Cook 4-5 hours on high, or 8 hours on low.
- The chicken will be so tender it is starting to fall off the bone.
- Enjoy.
That looks so good, the chicken and your side (roasted brussell sprouts) yum!

Love that you did the chicken in the crockpot and still got some nice color on the chicken. I have been skeptical in the past but you have sold me on it. Would love for you to share on Thursdays Treasures tonight. Link party opens t 8pm.

I have a busy schedule so I’m always looking for easy meals I can make in the crock-pot. This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Mmmm, you’re winning me over!! I wasn’t sure how a whole chicken in a slow cooker could NOT be dry, but that looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing! (Stopping by from On the Menu Monday)

YUM — Rotisserie Chicken is one of my favorite fast foods — time to dust off my slow cooker and make my own. Great post!
