How to Make Best Baked Slow Cooker Chicken
- Place three 3-4 inch balls of crumpled aluminum foil in the bottom of your slow cooker. This helps to lift the chicken and promote even cooking.
- Rinse a 7-pound whole chicken thoroughly and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
- Generously season the chicken inside and out with 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce (or to taste).
- Carefully place the seasoned chicken on top of the aluminum foil balls in the slow cooker. No need to add water; the chicken will render its own juices.
- Cook on high for 1 hour, then reduce to low for 8-10 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C), or until the juices run clear and the pop-up timer (if using) pops up.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
