Super Easy Baked (Slow Cooker) Chicken


Found this super easy recipe via Allrecipes.com for Baked Slow Cooker Chicken to try the other day.

The original recipe by, 'Cotton' Couch was so simple that it made me leery, however after reading the (top) reviews I learned some suggested tips. I only had cut up whole bone in chicken so that is what I used but I followed what Diane73162 did and seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper and Hungarian Paprika (original to the recipe), Granulated garlic, Poultry seasoning and Mrs. Dash. I only had 2 small sample packets of the Mrs. Dash (I've never used it before) so it was a very small amount.

I also did the foil balls to lift it off the bottom of the crock and filled the bottom with homemade chicken stock and coarsely chopped onion (about 1/2 of a vidalia); and I would recommend to use a whole onion as the onion was a great compliment to the chicken.

Though there was my husband, myself and our 3 year old for dinner I intentionally made the equivalent of a whole chicken so I would have left over chicken and bones to cook off for more stock; however the chicken was so tender it fell off the bone and left the bones in tiny lil  pieces parts and I just didn't want to deal with it afterwards. This recipe WILL be going into my favorites section for my dinner menus from here on out and I tell everyone to please check out this recipe for yourself. Simple, easy and yummy!

BTW, I had no way to get beautiful pictures of our chicken, falling apart and all
so I used a stock photo from this recipe.
