Have you tried cooking a whole chicken in a crock pot before? The outcome is so much better (and better-for-you!) than the standard grocery store rotisserie chicken. And if you have a well-stocked spice rack, you\u2019ll hardly have to buy anything to make this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t

    Why Cook a Whole Chicken in a Crock Pot?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019ve only been using your slow cooker for soups and stews you\u2019re seriously <\/em>missing out! You can make just about anything in a Crock Pot; that includes a whole chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Easy Meal Idea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019re a busy family and there isn\u2019t always time to make big meals, especially on weeknights. The slow cooker lets us \u201cset it and forget it\u201d and not have to worry about what\u2019s for dinner. Just whip up a few sides, or even a salad, and serve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Use the leftovers in many dishes, including this Creamy Pasta with Buffalo Chicken<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Healthier Alternative to Store Bought Rotisserie Chicken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Have you read the ingredients on your favorite rotisserie chicken? Between sugar and other additives, it\u2019s definitely not <\/em>real food approved. By making my own chicken from scratch I get to decide exactly what goes into the food we eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cook Once, Eat Multiple Times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This is probably my favorite part of this recipe! A whole chicken can be divided up and used for several different recipes<\/a> and meals. Don\u2019t forget to use the bones to make your own homemade chicken stock<\/a> so nothing goes to waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
