Ingredients

For the Chicken

1 whole Whole Chicken (3-4 pounds) ensure it's thawed for tender, juicy meat.

For the Seasoning

1 tablespoon Olive Oil helps the spices stick, giving the chicken a beautiful appearance.
1 teaspoon Salt essential for enhancing the flavor of the chicken.
1 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly ground adds an extra depth of flavor.
1 teaspoon Paprika contributes color and sweetness; feel free to use smoked paprika for a twist.
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder adds irresistible savory undertones; fresh garlic can replace it for a stronger kick.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by patting the whole chicken dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken, spreading it with your hands to ensure an even coating.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until well combined, then rub this seasoning blend all over the chicken.
Gently place the seasoned chicken breast side up in the slow cooker.
Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Carefully carve the chicken into pieces and serve it warm on a platter.
