Crockpot Whole Chicken

I love cooking whole chicken in the slow cooker. It's easy to prep and clean up and so versatile. You can serve the entire chicken as the main dish, rotisserie style, or shred it up to use in other recipes.

My Favorite Place to Buy Whole Chicken

I am a big fan of buying smart when it comes to the meats I serve my family. I'm also a big fan of ordering food for delivery straight to my door, which is why I'm loving Perdue Farms.

In case you haven't heard, Perdue Farms is a straight to the buyer premium meat supplier, and it's SO much more than just Perdue Chicken. They are the #1 supplier of organic chicken in the US and also carry beef, pork, and lamb that are pasture raised, grass-fed and have no hormones or antibiotics-ever.

Before making this recipe, I ordered the Gatherings Bundle which included this Sonoma Red Organic Pasture Raised Chicken. (More on the bundle below!)

How to Cook a Whole Chicken in the Slow Cooker

• It's best to elevate the chicken in the crock pot so that it isn't sitting in it's own juices, unless you're planning on shredding it. If you're like to remove the chicken whole, set it on a rack or ball up aluminum foil and set it on the foil balls to raise it up about an inch.
• You can season the chicken however you like. I like to use salt, pepper, and Herbes de Provence.
• The chicken should be cooked through in 3 to 4 hours but it is best to use a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh (not touching the bone) to ensure it reaches 165° Fahrenheit (75° Celsius).
