​

Ever wonder how to cook a whole chicken in your slow cooker? All you need is TWO ingredients, FIVE MINUTES of prep, and your trusty crockpot for this easy super juicy, fall-off-the-bone tender chicken. Use the meat throughout the week for recipes, meal prep, and get homemade chicken stock out of it, too!​

When I’m feeling fancy, I love roasting a whole chicken in my Dutch oven. But when my need for chicken is more utilitarian, I turn to my crockpot.

Cooking a whole chicken in your slow cooker is one of the easiest, cheapest, and most beneficial things you can do for successful meal planning. It’s such a great homemade alternative to buying a store-bought rotisserie chicken!

You can use the meat in salads or in any number of soup, casserole, or other recipes throughout the week!

All you need for this recipe is a whole chicken and an onion, plus some salt, pepper, and water. And a couple (optional) fresh rosemary sprigs. The chicken comes out sooo juicy and moist every time!
