Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Spiced Whole Chicken.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your flavorful chicken dish.
Step 2
In a small bowl, blend together salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, thyme, white pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper to create a robust seasoning mix.
Step 3
Generously rub this aromatic blend over the chicken, ensuring every inch is coated for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Next, transfer the seasoned chicken into a large resealable plastic bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the spices to penetrate deeply.
Step 5
When you're ready to cook, take the chicken out of the bag and place it in a slow cooker.
Step 6
Set it to the Low setting and let it cook for 4 to 8 hours, until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear.
Step 7
For perfect doneness, check that an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Enjoy the delightful aroma and savor the juicy, seasoned chicken that’s sure to impress!.
