Ingredients
Scale
- 4 to 5 pounds roasting chicken, bag and giblets removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound red potatoes, about 5 medium, cut into wedges
- 2 medium carrots, cut into pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Rub the chicken with olive oil and mix the seasonings in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the chicken, tucking the wings beneath it to prevent burning.
- Layer the cut-up vegetables in the slow cooker and set the chicken on top. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken is cooked through, reaching 165°F with no pink juices.
- Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, place the chicken on it, and broil on low for 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown, keeping a close eye on it.
- Tent the chicken with foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- If the vegetables need more cooking, cover and switch the slow cooker to high until tender.
Notes
Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken for food safety.
You can customize the vegetables based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
Resting the chicken before slicing helps keep it juicy.
