A delightful and easy-to-make slow-cooked chicken recipe, perfect for a flavorful and tender meal.
Prepare the slow cooker by placing 4-5 balls of aluminum foil at the bottom to create a base.
The foil balls help elevate the chicken, preventing it from sitting in its juices and ensuring even cooking.
Clean the chicken thoroughly, removing any giblets, and pat it dry with paper towels.
Drying the chicken helps the seasoning adhere better and promotes a crispier skin.
In a small bowl, mix the seasoning salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
Mixing the spices beforehand ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, including inside the cavity.
Massaging the spices into the chicken enhances the flavor penetration.
Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the onion and garlic cloves.
Adding aromatics inside the chicken infuses it with additional flavor during cooking.
Place the chicken breast-side up on the foil balls in the slow cooker.
Positioning the chicken breast-side up helps retain its juices and prevents overcooking.
Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Using a meat thermometer ensures the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature.
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
Resting the chicken allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender and flavorful.
