A simple and flavorful recipe to make rotisserie-style chicken at home using a slow cooker.
Clean the chicken thoroughly, removing any giblets.
Ensure the chicken is completely clean and pat it dry for better seasoning adherence.
Brush the chicken with olive oil, covering all sides.
Using a brush ensures even coating of the oil.
Mix the seasoned salt, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Combine the spices well to ensure an even flavor distribution.
Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, including inside the cavity.
Massaging the spices into the chicken enhances the flavor.
Line the bottom of the slow cooker with balls of aluminum foil to create a rack.
This prevents the chicken from sitting in its juices, mimicking a rotisserie effect.
Place the chicken breast-side up on the foil balls in the slow cooker.
Positioning the chicken correctly ensures even cooking.
Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting the chicken allows the juices to redistribute, making it juicier.
