Best Baked Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes

BAKED SLOW COOKER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wad three pieces of aluminum foil into 3 to 4 inch balls, and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.
• Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper and paprika, and place in the slow cooker on top of the crumpled aluminum foil.
• Set the slow cooker to High for 1 hour, then turn down to Low for about 8 to 10 hours, or until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear.

SLOW-COOKER ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the slow cooker if necessary. Put the onion and carrot in the base of the stock pot to form a protective layer to sit the chicken on, and add 100ml boiling water. Gently ease the chicken skin away from the breast. Stir some salt and pepper into the butter and push the butter under the skin. Put the bay leaf in the cavity of the chicken and sit on top of the onion and carrot.
• Cook on low for 5 hrs, then check that the chicken is cooked by wiggling the wing - it should feel very loose. Tip the chicken up so any liquid inside flows out, then cook on high for 30 mins. If the chicken isn't cooked through after the initial time, cook for another hour, then turn the heat up. If you want the skin to be browned, grill it for a couple of minutes (make sure your slow cooker insert is flameproof if you keep it in the pot, or transfer it to a roasting tin).
• There will be some gravy in the base of the dish with the veg, tip everything through a sieve and press the veg gently to make sure you get every last drop. Serve the veg on the side, if you like.

Steps:

• Wad three pieces of aluminum foil into 3 to 4 inch balls, and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.
• Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Season the chicken with the season salt, pepper and Tabasco, and place in the slow cooker on top of the aluminum foil balls. There is no need to add water; it will make its own juices.
• Set the slow cooker to High for 1 hour, then turn down to Low for about 8 to 10 hours, or until the pop up timer pops or the juices run clear.
• **Please note: I have a big slow cooker and a seven pound chicken fits nicely in it. Please adjust cooking time if making a smaller bird.

SIMPLE SLOW ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Combine the paprika, black pepper, garlic salt, parsley, and marjoram in a small bowl. Pour the red wine into a roasting pan with lid; set aside.
• Place the celery and quartered onions into the cavity of the chicken. Rub the chicken with the reserved spice mixture, and set into the roasting pan.
• Cover, and bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the pan, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before serving.
