Blue Moon Crock Pot Roasted Chicken Recipes

CROCKPOT ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse your chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
• Sprinkle a small amount of the seasoning inside the chicken.
• Brush with the melted butter and then thoroughly coat the outside of the chicken with the remaining seasonings.
• Place 5-6 small foil balls into the bottom of your slow cooker and then place the chicken on top of the balls so it's suspended above the bottom of the crockpot.
• Cover and cook on high 4-5 hours or on low for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is cooked through to a minimum temperature of 165 degrees when tested.

BLUE MOON CROCK POT ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Set 5 quart crock pot to Low temp. Remove neck, & innards from inside chicken. Rinse chicken well with cold water. Place quartered onion, 2 whole garlic cloves, & bay leaves inside chicken & set inside crock pot, timer up. This allows the garlic, onion and bay leaves to infuse from the inside & throughout the meat.
• 2. Melt butter. Drizzle over chicken & rub into skin with fingers. I call it massaging the meat (a lil kitchen humor). In a small bowl, add rosemary, parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, & pepper. Mix together. I use fresh when available, but dried is just as good! You can adjust seasonings to your taste. Sprinkle mixed seasonings over chicken. Chicken will be covered well.
• 3. Pour beer around chicken, not over. Place sliced onion on top of and around chicken.
• 4. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until timer indicates chicken is done. Cook times will vary depending on weight of chicken. Side note: I periodically "baste" the chicken if I'm home to do so.
• 5. When chicken is done, it will be very tender, and fall apart when removing from crock pot, I use 2 large slotted spoons, one at each end of the chicken to gently remove from crock pot to keep chicken together. Don't fret if it falls apart..... allow to stand for 10 minutes to allow juices to soak in, cut & serve. Strain juices in crock pot and use to prepare gravy or your favorite home made chicken soup!

ROAST CHICKEN IN THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Crumple three pieces of aluminum foil and place in the middle of your slow cooker.

• Sprinkle chicken with herbs, salt and pepper.
• Set slow cooker to high and cook for 1/2 hour per pound.
• When ready, stick a meat thermometer into leg to ensure it is done. Transfer chicken to a roasting pan and set oven to 500º Fahrenheit.

• The best part of this recipe? After your done cooking everything, you'll have a considerable amount of jus left over from the chicken. Whisk it with some cornstarch for a truly delicious gravy, or save it in your fridge or freezer for at-the-ready soup stock when you need it in a pinch. (It's so much better than bouillon.).
