Ingredients

• 1 piece Whole chicken (3-4 pounds)
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 piece Lemon (optional, for stuffing)
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves (optional, for stuffing)

Directions

Step 1

Remove any giblets or neck pieces from the cavity of the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme to make the seasoning blend.

Step 3

Rub the olive oil all over the chicken, ensuring it is entirely coated.

Step 4

Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the chicken, including the cavity and under the skin whenever possible.

Step 5

If desired, place the optional lemon (halved) and garlic cloves inside the cavity for additional flavor.

Step 6

Roll up 3-4 balls of aluminum foil (each about the size of a golf ball) and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker to create a makeshift rack to elevate the chicken. This allows air circulation and prevents the chicken from sitting in its juices.

Step 7

Place the seasoned chicken breast-side up on top of the foil balls in the slow cooker.

Step 8

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when measured in the thickest part of the breast and thigh.

Step 9

Carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Step 10

Optional: For a crispy skin, transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Step 11

Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
