Crock Pot Whole Chicken

This is by far the EASIEST way to cook an entire chicken!  It comes out extremely tender and moist each and every time I make it like this.  I’m also able to make homemade stock before discarding the chicken bones…all in the same pot!

Ingredients
1 whole organic chicken (I usually buy around 5lbs but it depends on the size of your crock pot)
1/2 yellow onion
Spices – I used Sea Salt, Pepper, Basil, Thyme, Rosemary and Parsley,  you can use whatever you’d like!

Chop up the onion into medium size pieces and make a bed on the bottom of the crock pot.
Place chicken on top and season. You do not need to add any liquid.

Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.   You can also check it out periodically and see when the timer pops if your chicken comes with one.

Good luck cutting into the chicken!
Most of the times it is SO tender that it just falls into pieces!
Delicious!
