I have cooked chicken this way many times before and it is delicious. The only thing I did not like was that the skin did not crisp (maybe I did something wrong) but the flavor is awesome.

I agree the skin doesn't crisp though it does brown and look very nice. The skin pulls off very easily which is a plus for us because we don't eat the skin.

maybe you could just crisp the skin under the broiler?

I love me some chicken! But I usually either fry it, pressure cook it or rotisserie it.

their must be enough juice n the chk right that we didnt need any water on the bottom of the cp for steam right?

to avoid some of the condensation that keeps the skin "soggy", try putting about 4 layers of paper towels on top of the crockpot and set the lid down on them. About half way thru the baking time, change out the paper towels. When you lift the lid, keep it level until you get it away from the crockpot and then tilt it sideways so that the condensation on the underside of the lid drips elsewhere, not into the pot.

I have done this with various crockpot recipes and it does help, I've just never personally done it with a whole chicken.

no water or any other liquid is needed.

I'm glad so many of you have found this useful

Ever since finding this recipe I have cooked this once a week. It makes enough chicken for us to have it for 2 dinners and 2 school lunches for my son.

it is a good one. i change up the spices sometimes. all depends what i have or dont at that time. we dont use much salt, so, no season salt for us. i have found that chilli powder, cayene pepper, black pepper, ital seasoning, garlic powder and a tad of onion salt work great!!! i dont rub the chix w/ oil or spray and i take the skin off before seasoning to make it a bit healthier.

~I made this last night. I was skeptical because it just smelled "ok". We were amazed at how moist and delicious the chicken was. It was very much like a rotisserie bird! And it was 10X easier getting all the meat off the bones than a roasted bird.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, I may never make a whole chicken any other way again! I couldn't thank your original post so I thanked another post on this thread.
