looking for chicken crockpot recipes? HELP

I 'roast' a whole chicken in the crock-pot. Put 3 balls of foil in bottom of crock-pot, rub a small amount of olive oil on chicken along with whatever seasoning you prefer, place chicken on top of foil balls, cook 4-5 hours on high for a 3-4 pound chicken.
It's wonderful! The aluminum foil keeps the chicken from sitting in the juices.

This is a yummy & healthy, simple way of preparing chicken. Also instead of foil balls at the bottom you can swap them out for baked potatoes. Just put some potatoes under the chicken (wrap in foil or not, your choice), then place the chicken on top and follow the instructions up above. The potatoes turn out delicious with a hint of chicken flavor.

Of course depending on the age of your Crockpot as that will really determine the amount of time to cook it. The newer ones (in the last 5 years) cook much higher so may take only 1/2 the cooking time, which mine does.

I've seen some recipes like the above where you add add slices of orange & onion under the skin and in the cavity of the chicken. Another choice is lemon and onion instead, Though I much preferred the orange sliced to the lemon.
