I seriously can’t think of a better way to cook a whole chicken. This whole chicken in crockpot thing is the most simple and flavorful recipe seriously. We were eating crawfish the other night and Allen is allergic. Really didn’t know how hungry he was going to be when he got home from work, so I threw this in the crockpot. Either he would eat it, or I’d use it for something else. Between him and the other guys around, it was all gone. Nothing but bones were left.
