Chicken Crock Pot

This easy but it’s not quick. It’s good for starting in the morning and having it ready when you get back home. Gotta have a crock pot. If you don’t,,now might be a good time to get one. They are great. We’re going to be posting some crock pot recipes from now on. Gammy is a whiz at them.

4 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

½ cup white wine (optional)

1 large roasting chicken (with pop-up timer if possible if not a meat thermometer will work)

1 cup onion, chopped (optional) or substitute a small lemon cut in ¼ s and or a few cloves of garlic smashed and put in the body cavity or do both! What the hell!!

In a small bowl, combine the spices.

Remove any giblets from chicken and clean chicken.

Rub spice mixture onto the chicken.

When ready to cook, put chopped onion in bottom of crock pot.

Add chicken. No liquid is needed, (but white wine is a nice touch) the chicken will make it's own juices.

Note: We highly recommend a pop-up timer in the chicken or test it with a meat thermometer when you think it’s done, because some crock pots cook slower than other. It's great with sauteed veggiesand the carb of your choice. And the rest of that wine!!!
