Delicious! If you want to make it yourself, this is the way to go. I must say though, you can get them already delcicious and cooked at the grocery store for about the same price. Sometimes it feels good to make it yourself, and sometimes you just want to save the time.

Turned out wonderful. Entire family enjoyed!

easy

I give this recipe 4 stars for the original method.. However if you doctor it up with more flavor then it is a 5 star for sure. I have made this 3 times so far. Attempt #1: Took advice from others and stuffed cavity with onions, garlic, and carrots. Lined the bottom with onions, garlic and carrots. Seasoned the 5 lb bird with rosemary, garlic salt, pepper, paprika, etc.. and cooked it as recipe says: 1 hr on high and then 8ish on low. Smelled amazing walking thru the door but was dry dry dry. We still ate it (seasonings were great and the veggies were to die for!) Attempt #2: 5 lb bird again.. seasoned and treated same as before but reduced cooking time (on LOW) to about 6 to 7 hours. Again.. dry. :( Attempt #3: 4 lb bird. By George, this time I think I've got it. This time I actually tried the aluminum ball technique.. generously seasoned the bird with olive oil, garlic salt, seasoned salt, paprika, diced garlic, pepper. 4 hours 30 minutes on LOW only.. divine. Next time I want to use potatoes as a base.. cooking is all about trial and error right? I finally figured out a way that is delicious and tender, but you never know.. maybe I could combine the fruits of my research (or should I say veggies of my research lol) and use veggies on the bottom with a 4 lb bird and cook on low for 4.5 hours. Yum!!

Not bad. Not flavorful. But not bad. Typical moist bland chicken.

Turned out great. Super easy!

made this today...amazing taste. didn't have chicken stock so I used water and 3 chicken cubes. put some roasted garlic inside the chicken cavity. was planning to use the leftovers and the chicken stock to make soup, but there were no leftovers! So I'll freeze the chicken stock and use it next time. The aluminum foil balls worked great.

Easiest recipe there ever was. I, like other reviewers, chose to put some onion in the body cavity and some veggies like celery, carrot and onion, under the chicken. I added about a 1/2 cup of chicken broth, but I don't think it is absolutely necessary as the crock fills with yummy juices that, after draining, can be used for making a heavenly gravy. I've used this recipe a couple of times now and will continue to do so.

Mine turned out slightly over done and veggies way over done. After doing some research, it apears newer slow cookers cook hotter than older ones. Cook time was definately too long for a newer crock pot. Will try again without starting it off on High and see how it turns out.

The chicken was moinst and tender. My family really enjoyed this. I used quarted potatoes at the bottom of the crock pot instead of foil and it turned out great. Thanks for the recipe.
