Roast Chicken

I have a friend that is slowly learning how to cook with his crock pot. i told him about how i roast as chicken in mine. He was quite surprised that this could be done. AHHHH what fun he has yet to learn about a crock pot!

So this post is for him! cant baby sit your oven all day? then put it in your crock pot set it and forget it!

Wash your bird (of course remove the neck and bag of giblets) place in dry crock pot. This bird is still slightly frozen.

If you don't have an oval 6 quart crock pot, then you may need to choose a smaller bird. Purdue hens tend to be HUGE and the fit nicely in my 6qrt. where the smaller store brand (i think) would fit in a round Crock Pot

Sprinkle with some sage and thyme or just all purpose poultry seasoning and set on low. I put mine in before i left for work at 8:30 and when i got home at 4, the timer was just ready to POP!

Can you see all the drippings in the pan? that will make some AWESOME gravy! Just take the bird out of the crock pot, put the lid back on and turn that puppy up to HIGH and add a slurry of flour and water to thicken it. bingo instant gravy that cant be beat!
