Chicken Recipes EASY
Yup I'll be doing this one tomorrow. As a caregiver for my wife, I love low maintenance crockpot meal preps. Beats the hell out of frozen food...
The first time I tried this recipe I slid a spatula under the chicken and it was so tender the whole bird caved in, the wings and legs fell off on their own. It was the most tender and juicy chicken I've ever made and I make tender chicken. Thank you so much for the recipe and much love.💖
This has been my preferred way to roast chicken for years. I don’t like the chicken sitting in its own juices as it cooks because it gets mushy. I set the chicken on a rack that keeps it an inch off the bottom. Lots of nice juices for gravy etc. i sometimes put onions, celery and parsley inside for more flavor.
Setting the chicken on a layer of onions & celery is also an option, in case anyone doesn't have a rack that'll fit their crockpot.
@@silvernblack21 Also placing it on top of foil balls or rolls or whatever shape. The point is for the chicken not to touch it's own liquid
I use a small glass (oven safe) pie plate that’s upside down. I did the foil balls just to test it. Now I just invert the plate and put the chicken on top.
Good to know. Health reasons have to stay away from a lot of fats
The juices still rise regardless of when I use a rack or set the chicken on a bed of vegetables
Just started roasting my chicken this way a couple of years ago and absolutely LOVE IT! I do put it under the broiler after I take it out just to crisp the skin! But the most tender and juiciest chicken ever!! My wings and drumsticks used to always DRY out on me in the oven - but not with this method!! I do turkey breast this way now too! Thanks for sharing!! 😊
I never thought about doing it this way, but makes so much sense. Thanks so much for always putting out your videos. I bet your house always smells amazing :)
Lol i never thought of doing this either and im thinking why have i never done this before, its a no brainer lol
Me neither. It's an excellent idea for the times you don't want to heat up the kitchen.
I use butter or oil to add to it then slather it with the seasoning and onions and lemons shoved under skin
I just cooked a turkey breast in my Crockpot. It smelled like thanksgiving. I went to the store for rolls and they don't sell them this time of year. I bought the sourdough bread and wow so yummy. I will try your list of seasonings next week on a chicken.
You’re a beautiful soul! Thank you for this recipe!
Oh my word! Made this today and it was absolutely the best! Seasoning was on spot! Fell off the bone goodness! Thanks, Angelica!
I want to try this recipe but I'm worried that since the seasoning is on the skin that the meat won't have all the flavor like the skin will have. My husband only eats crispy chicken skin so I'm afraid the seasoning will be a waste. What was your experience with the flavor of the meat?
@@cynthiakeller5954I know I’m late but I’d suggest cutting the chest down the middle and seasoning the inside as well. If you want crispy skin maybe put it in the broiler after
@@teresamills7146 That's an excellent idea, thanks!
My kids gave me an enormous oval crockpot several years ago and I can fit two chickens inside. Now to look for a sale! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I'm new to crock pot cooking and love a baked chicken. Will be trying this recipe this week.
I do this, demeat the chicken, then put bones back in the crockpot and fill with water and make bone broth overnight.
I do the same! I also add some veges that are past their prime like onion, carrots, celery and any herbs. The broth is so flavorful from the seasoning that I drink it like tea with a squeeze of lemon after removing the fat after it sits overnight.
I like this suggestion of adding water to make bone broth overnight. I love to add sage and a bay leaf to my veggies as the whole chicken cooks in the crockpot.
I’ve never cooked a whole chicken in the crockpot. I want to try it too now. Thanks for sharing
YES THE IDEA DOES APPEAL TO ME NOW. I COULD STAR THE CHICKEN AND VEGIES WHEN I GET UP AND HAVE IT IN THE LATE ARVO.
Thnx Angelica. I still use crockpot bags, I’m old fashioned. The method you used saves a lot of kitchen time. 😊
Hi A!!! Oh... I really like this recipe. I like using my Crock Pots. I have never made a whole chicken in the CP before. I will be doing this real soon. The chicken look so...delish... Great video!!!...
I shared with family members. You're recipes are delicious. Mucho gracious mama
This has been my favorite way to cook whole chickens this year. I love the way the flavor turns out and the meat is so juicy. Not having the crispy skin doesn’t bother us as we don’t eat chicken skin usually. If we want crispy skin we have other recipes for that. Also I love to do this and shred the whole chicken and freeze to meal prep for lazy days! I usually add veg on the bottom if it’s for dinner but now I want to try this seasoning blend you made up for it, sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing we love your videos and recipes in our home! ❤
I made a double batch of the seasoning to use for future cooks. It works really well and saves money I would spend on a seasoning from Penzey.

I'm trying this idea this weekend with small golden potatoes. Thanks.
I love to cook chicken like this when HEB has them in the ad. I usually get a couple of them cook them take the meat off the bone and put it in freezer bags and stick in the freezer for pasta dishes and casseroles. You can usually get 2-3 meals out of one chicken.
Do you rinse the chicken first??
@@rosemarytalavera3756 No some people do, but the USDA advises against it because it ends up spreading bacteria everywhere.
I’ve wondered how to do this!
I’ll be trying this out soon!
Thanks! 😋
Mmm... looks mouth watering 😋
God Bless you and your family and that chicken looks very tasty and very delicious
This is exactly what I’m looking for. You explained it very well thank you.
Wow, the chicken seasoning is wonderful, and this an excellent cooking solutions. I will look for it. You are beautiful, my friend 😋👍🏻
Oh how delicious! I'm definately going to make this. Thank you so much! 👌😋😋😋😍😁❤️
Great instructions! Exactly what I was looking for, and you have the same crock pot as me!
Thank you for showing me this, I’m going to cook a chicken today, for the first time, in my slow cooker. Loved your video xx
Thank you for sharing this Angelika have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. Great way to do a whole chicken. I'm making this recipe yummy. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Definitely going to try this. Spot on with the spices.
This is a great way to cook a chicken,it would also be great for chicken soup.. thank you so much for sharing your recipe 😋 hv a great day family 💕🥰😘❤️🧡💙
Going to make this tomorrow. Will use the drippings for gravy. Looks absolutely delicious!
This is the recipe I was looking for from you! Thank you ☺️
This perfect for me! I need the chicken for a pot pie recipe and this is an easy way to get juicy meat. I use the drippings and carcass to make some stock.
This looks so simple and delicious!
Great video
I always use a crockpot bag for easy clean up especially when I cook macaroni in it
Your chicken looks delicious!!!
New subscriber I love this recipe I have a crock pot I didnt use for a long time I will try this recipe
Oh god that looks so good ! I'm doing this tonight I have exactly the same crock pot ! 👍
You can also make an amazing "rotisserie" chicken in an air fryer. Breast side down for 30 min then flip for 25. It's delicious 😋
What temp?
I was going to ask the same thing. If like to try this. I use my air fryer aaallllll the time
Magic
Can you PLEASE do one with a Turkey! Thanksgiving is around the corner and I need other options cause my Oven is out. 😅
Just FYI. I’ve done turkey breasts in the crockpot. I used different seasonings. It turned out great. Use your favorite spices.
@@charlottecampbell417 No I'm it talking about Turkey Breast in talking about a whole Butterball Turkey.
@@happygenerously6008 Crockpots are not large enough to do a whole turkey. Parts are your best bet if you want to do a slow cooker turkey. Just make sure to brown them in oil in a frying pan first.
Oh yeahh!!
Do a turkey on the bq u will never go back to oven ! If u have one ! It amazing ❤
This is such a beautiful recipe...mama explained it so simply...
Thanks for the recipe I can’t wait to make it❣️
Definitely gonna try this recipe! TFS
I like your honesty. Thanks
I made this tonight. Delicious. Thank you.
This looks amazing! It will be tonight's dinner❤. Thanks!
Just tried this. Added some extra spices. Family was supposed to take it out and do the rest while I was at work. Came home with it set to warm after hours and it was dry af, burnt and flavourless. So much for a chicken gravy from the drippings. Will try again and do it on my own. I guess I’ll be enjoying this on my own next time…
Pretty looks yummy thankyou and you didn't add water amazing
I like the idea. I would try putting it in the air fryer or broiler for a few minutes to see if it would crisp. It looks delicious.
Thanks for sharing it looks delicious and it's easy. Blessings
YyyeeUuumm! Thanks for your upload, looks delicious!
It looks delicious!
Looks sumptuous love it’s you teach me so much.
glad l watched your video and followed your recipe, it was delicious, no need for oil etc x
Cooking it this way is a great way to save the fat and use it for cooking later.
Using the chicken fat to fry potato pancakes or sliced potatoes is amazing.
I always put veggies in with it. I'm definitely going to try this way. Thank you 😊
Doing this on Sunday my oven isn't working so thanks very much and I love chicken !!!
thanks for another easy to follow recipe that is also affordable! God Bless.
Perfect. I'm making one tomorrow
I love your recipes, chicken looks delicious, thank you❤
I’m giving it a try thanks❤
Looks yummy, gonna have to try this
My new favorite way to prepare chicken!
We have a Hen for New Years 2023. I can hardly wait. That bird will have to cook much longer. I can hardly wait to put a piece of Hen in my rice! God Bless to All.
Looks wonderful and so tender, falling apart. I have never attempted to make a whole chicken before. But I do believe the Crock-Pot would be the best avenue.
You could also do this on a pellet cooker outside. With approx 30 seconds of research I found the crock pot temps are 200 on low and 300 on high. I wouldn't do chicken at 200 as there'll be WAY too much smoke, but 300 will give a nice smokey element. Just another option.
I need to do this this weekend.
Thanks for the recipe.
Looks good. I'll give it a try 😋
Oh man! I’m making this tomorrow, but I’m using the juices to make gravy for mashed potatoes!
Use a crock pot liner and lift it out when done.
Great idea, too bad I already started it without lol wasn't thinking never did whole chicken this way! Thank you!
Great tips.
I can’t wait to try this!
Thank you soooo much for this. It looks so good. Now i know what i am making for dinner tomorrow night, and HEB has whole chickens on sale this week so its a win-win. After reading the coments with some great ideas i'm gonna buy more than 1 and cook and debone and freeze. I do have a question tho, if i put potatoes,carrots and celery under the chicken would too much fat for them to sit in?
Again thanks for another great idea. I have made sevral of your meals and they always come out great
Thank you a guilt free prep meal wonderful ❤
The rotisserie chickens at the supermarket never have crispy skin. I'm cool with not eating the skin. I will definitely try this. I will brine the bird first tho.
I have a crock pot too small so i stopped using it. Thx for showing what size i need to get. This looks delicious. The broth is saveable n freezable for future gravies or meals (chicken soup, etc). Can throw veggies in to make it a full meal too.
Edit: try spreading your seasoning underneath the skin too. Makes a world of difference.
I had NO idea you could do that, lol. I live in Galveston Texas and it's still 1000 degrees so I will be doing this SOON!
I’ll have to try this one! When it’s hot I refuse to use my oven because my house gets so hot. I love good crockpot recipes.
I usually lift the skin and put butter and Lemmon slices in it,
that yard bird be looking so good!!!!😍
Thumbs up. 😃. My husband could and would eat pollo everyday. 😃. Gracias
Looks delicious!!!
Looks good!! What camera are you using? The quality is amazing!
yummy, i'll try tonight, easy peezy
Iam trying this thanks for sharing. 👍♥️♥️♥️♥️🤗
This just made me want a bigger crockpot lol
If you want it to be crispy you have to add a tsp of baking soda into the seasoning mix. It'll give it a nice crispy crust and just make sure to keep basting it.
Thanks for this tip.
I made this for dinner tonight. The family loved it. To quote my husband “even the white meat is moist.” There is enough chicken left over chicken Alfredo tomorrow night.
You are a very good videographer.🤤❤
Trying that today--thanks.
Thank you. Crockpot, who knew... My is grandma shaking her head down. I am trying this today.
I have that same exact crockpot
I need do try this recipe 😊
I would have been so tempted to put some of that cooked off grease into the cooked rice
YUMMY FOOD SIMPLY MAMA COOKS
Beautiful 😍 thank you for video
I'm gonna try it 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Yummy looks so good
I take it a few steps further. I will take the drippings, remove some of the fat/oil and make homemade gravy. Then i take all the bones, throw them right back in the crockpot with onion, carrots, celery tops and seasoning to make chicken bone broth. From one chicken you get shredded chicken, homemade gravy, and delicious chicken stock. So many recipes can be made. ❤
I'm just making now Love the reviews having tater tot casserole with it!!
Excellent way to cook a whole bird.
That’s what i’m doin tommorrow thank you
