Here's a tip: make 3-4 golf ball sized balls of foil and put them in the pot under the chicken. This keeps the bottom from getting soggy from sitting in the juices. <br /><br />I did get my act together and post my menu this week (<a href="http://amy-tinyblessings.blogspot.com/2011/10/menu-plan-monday-103.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>)... I've been slacking a bit in the menu department lately. Life is SOOO much easier when I have a plan! :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586345335424142815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500315.post-10530928301535238992011-10-03T09:55:54.768-04:002011-10-03T09:55:54.768-04:00I was planning on a whole chicken yesterday for di...I was planning on a whole chicken yesterday for dinner too and was going to have to be home by such and such time to start it. Until I read your post! I NEVER thought about using the crockpot for a whole chicken!!! OF COURSE! So easy! I had a seasoning packet/mix from the store I had planned on using, so I rubbed it all over the skin, under the skin, and inside and tossed it in the crockpot for about 5 1/2 hours. Oh my gosh! It was the most tender, juiciest, yummiest chicken ever! Jason loved it and the boys ate it all up! I'm glad I stopped over to check out your post and saw that idea. Not only did dinner turn out great, but we were able to go do stuff without having to rush home for mom to start dinner. Thanks :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866222144325532286noreply@blogger.com
