Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 5 lb whole chicken
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (omit for Whole30)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper (omit for AIP)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Mix the seasonings together in a small ramekin.
  • Pat the chicken dry and smother with seasonings.
  • Roll a piece of aluminum foil into a ring shape and put it into the slow cooker as a rack.
  • Place the chicken on top of the aluminum foil, cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours. You'll know it's ready when the thickest part of the thigh reads 165F.
  • Transfer to a sheet pan and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Broiling is optional but you will not achieve crispy skin by skipping this step.
  • Save the accumulated bones in the freezer and make bone broth with them later!
