Made exactly as written and it is delicious. All 5 of my children love this chicken and it couldn't be easier. I have made this several times and it is on our meal rotation.

Three hours on high and we had a completely cooked, fall off the bone, moist chicken! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

If you're looking for a chicken to impress guests, this isn't the one for you. But if you're looking for a tender, juicy chicken that couldn't be simpler, look no further. It's a good base recipe to dress your chicken up however you like it. I like it simple, so I stuck with the recipe and I love it. I made pan gravy from the drippings - yum. Thanks for a super easy chicken recipe. I put it in before bed and I am having the best lunch ever.

This was so good and tender...even used the leftovers chicken for another recipe.

This is a great basic recipe that lends itself well to your personal options. I had a chicken that had been in the freezer way too long and a slow cooker and wanted to try them together. I found this recipe and the comments to it and went to work. I still had some frozen rosemary in the garden and a few oranges in the fridge so made Rosemary Orange baked chicken. First I slathered the bird with butter. Then, I made a rub of salt pepper poultry seasoning chopped fresh rosemary and paprika and rubbed that onto the whole chicken I grated up some orange zest and sprinkled that on the bird. I halved the orange and stuffed that in the cavity with 2 small onions. Trussed the bird and placed it on the slow cooker on the aluminum foil "logs" I had made. I added one cup of stock and cooked for 4 hours on high. It came out tender, moist with a hint of orange. Tasted great. Turns out I didn't need to add the stock, I will know that next time. I didn't brown the bird as I wanted to keep the prep time down and if i wanted a crispy brown skin, I just would have baked the bird. Thanks for a great recipe

Like many of you, I cut up an onion and stuffed it in the cavity of the chicken. An easy flavor enhancer. I also mixed 1 TBSP olive oil, 1/2 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp dried tarragon and brushed the chicken before cooking. Yummy!

Fall off the bone yummy! Have been looking for years for a great whole chicken slow cooker recipe. This is it!

Cooked it on high for 2 hours and then low for 5 hours and it turned out perfect!

This is SUCH an EASY recipe- I actually use an old pie pan folded in half- after its done I put it in the oven at 350 to brown an additional 15-20 mins- so easy

2 hrs on high and 3 hrs on low for 4 lb chicken....otherwise it is too dry.
