Crock Pot Whole Chicken

This the easiest crock pot chicken ever! Not only does this chicken taste just like a rotisserie chicken but it is the entire chicken cooked in the crock pot. Yes, the whole chicken!

Crock Pot Chicken:

1 whole chicken, thawed (any size that will fit in your crock pot)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
olive oil

Mix together in a small bowl the above spices. Set aside.

Roll several pieces of aluminum foil in small balls and place in the bottom of the slow cooker. (I used 4 balls.)

Rinse chicken and rub with olive oil. Rub the spice mixture all over chicken. (I put some inside the cavity and also under the skin covering the breasts.)

Lay chicken on aluminum foil balls in slow cooker, breast-side down.  Aluminum foil should prevent chicken from actually touching the bottom of the slow cooker.

Cook on high in crock pot for 5 hours.

Happy 392nd Thanksgiving!

In 1621, Thanksgiving was a time for prayer and to thank God for the bounteous harvest that sustained the Pilgrims through the winter months. Today, I will be praying that God continues to richly provide for us all with his many blessings. We hope you have a wonderful day enjoying your many blessings.

Dryer Sheet Replacement

In the pursuit to eliminate extra chemicals from our environment... I started using just a tin foil ball to soften and eliminate static in our dryer.

This could just be the easiest thing you do to eliminate a list of chemicals and save your family money.

All you need is a piece of brand-new tin foil that is about 2 feet long. Then let your kids crumb it up into a ball. Place the ball in the dryer with the wet clothes and set the dryer as you always do.

DONE!

You can make several of these dryer balls but one will do the trick. It can't get any easier than this!
