Ingredients
Scale
- 4 to 5 pounds roasting chicken, bag and giblets removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound red potatoes, 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. Mix the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the chicken and tuck the wings under.
- Place the cut vegetables in the bottom of the slow cooker and set the chicken on top. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay the chicken on the baking sheet and broil for 5 to 10 minutes until it's golden brown, watching it closely to prevent burning.
- Let the chicken rest, tented with foil, for 10 minutes before slicing.
- If the vegetables aren't cooked through when the chicken is done, cover the slow cooker and increase the heat to high until the vegetables are tender.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning overnight.
Feel free to add your choice of vegetables, such as bell peppers or zucchini, based on what’s in season.
The chicken can be seasoned with herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different flavor profile.
