Slow Cooker Whole Chicken

I love rotisserie chicken but nothing beats homemade. This Slow Cooker Whole Chicken is simple to make and taste even better than store-bought. 

This recipe is one of my favorites. We love buying rotisserie chicken from the store when we need a quick dinner. I wanted to try my hand at making it at home and it came out even better then store bought.

This recipe is the classic but you can also season it in different ways. We like adding lemon pepper or even taco seaosning for a fun different flavor.

Instructions

Notes

• Tip: The foil well help keep your chicken out of any liquid that will come from your chicken while cooking. Keeping it out of the water will prevent it from getting soggy.
