I just bought my first raw, whole chicken and am planning on putting it in the slow cooker over night. I need some ideas of how to make it awesome. Any easy crockpot chicken recipes would be greatly appreciated!!

    I recently bought a whole chicken and instead of the crock pot I made a roasted chicken and it was delicious! But I'm sure you could use similar flavors in the crock pot only the skin won't be crispy.
    I bought celery and carrots and happened to have a bag of butternut squash cubes I threw in the bottom of the pan. Oh, and a white onion quartered. The I flavored the bird with Cavender's Greek Seasoning (although, I don't think I used enough or the flavor wasn't strong enough to me personally. ) and garlic powder. The recipe I followed used butter in the bird and on the veggies. I think that is what kept it moist in the oven, but I didn't really think that much butter was necessary. instead, I would think in a crockpot you could put water and the juices from the bird would basically flavor the veggies without adding all the extra fat. Plus it shouldn't dry out a lot in the crock pot especially if you have veggies and water.
    Just my two cents :) I find my best recipes are on allrecipes.com You can read reviews and how people tweaked it and I haven't been disappointed yet.

    I would recommend wrapping some russet potatoes in foil and putting them on the bottom. Then lay the Chicken on top. Add onion (cut into 1/4 thickness), carrots (baby or cut in chunks a whole one), and celery. Add those ingredients around the Chicken. Throw a bay leaf in the cavity of the chicken. Salt/Pepper over the chicken.

    Easy way of making healthy chicken tacos. Just add some salsa and taco seasoning, and shred when done. Easy :)

    I used a whole cut up chicken last night. Chicken Chili Verde. Season the chicken with cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Brown on all sides in skillet. Put in crock pot with 2 cups of favorite green salsa. Cook on low 8 hours. So delicious!

    I cut the chicken into parts & remove the skin. Add one can of condensed chicken soup, one can of water, can of white kidney beans (drained), one bulb (yes, a bulb) of garlic (skin removed from each clove), and a batch of fresh thyme (or a T. of dried). Everyone in my family loves this meal!
