Here’s a delicious Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken (3 to 4 pounds)
• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 lemon, halved

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
   • Rub olive oil or melted butter all over the chicken.
2. Season the Chicken:
   • In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

3. Stuff the Chicken:
   • Stuff the cavity with lemon halves, garlic cloves, onion, and any fresh herbs you like.
4. Slow Cooker Setup:
   • Create a “rack” at the bottom of the slow cooker using balls of aluminum foil or thick slices of vegetables like carrots or potatoes to elevate the chicken.
   • Place the seasoned chicken, breast side up, on the makeshift rack in the slow cooker.
5. Cook the Chicken:
   • Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
6. Optional Crisping:
   • For crispy skin, transfer the cooked chicken to a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
7. Serve:
   • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. Enjoy!

This slow-cooker method makes for a tender, juicy rotisserie-style chicken without needing an oven!
