Quick and Easy Crock Pot Chicken: Rotisserie Style
Rotisserie Chicken is a favorite meal around the Diva home and the fact that this recipe is simple, easy crock pot chicken makes it a home run for our family! From a mom’s perspective it’s quick and easy to grab from the market. The family likes it because it tastes good. Quick, Easy and Yummy.
I have a few concerns about Rotisserie Chicken from conventional stores:
- It typically contains a number of “extra” ingredients.
- Is not organic or free range – and this is what I think about that.
- It’s high in Sodium – at up to 480 mg of sodium for a 5 oz serving – skin off!
Cooking the chicken in the slow cooker makes this recipe SUPER easy and replicates a family favorite. Amazingly the crock pot even browns the chicken while it cooks!
One of my favorite things to do is set up a meal – leave it for the day and come home to a delicious, organic, low sodium protein for dinner.
Rotisserie Style Crock Pot Chicken Ingredients
1 Whole Organic Free Range Chicken
3 teaspoons of Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning
1 teaspoon of Organic Onion Powder
1 teaspoon of Organic Paprika
.5 Tablespoon of Grapeseed Oil
.5 Teaspoon of Salt
Rotisserie Style Crock Pot Chicken Instructions
Lift the skin (near the cavity) and rub the salt 1 teaspoon of the Mrs. Dash and the oil between the skin and the body of the chicken. Take the remaining of spices and sprinkle evenly over the chicken on the skin.
- Place a shallow pyrex dish or a couple of pyrex custard cups – upside down – on the bottom of your crock pot. Rest the chicken on top of the dish, breast side up – tuck the wings under the bottom so it look purdy.
- Cook Time: Put the lid on and cook for at least 6 hours. Cooking longer could result in the chicken falling a part a little, but shouldn’t bother the taste.
- Serve
It’s that simple! And… Dude took one bite and said it was delicious. Most of you already know…he’s my toughest audience!

Love this! I made one a few weeks ago and put balls of foil on the bottom of the crockpot to keep the chicken raised!
