Healthy Rotisserie Chicken image

If you're looking to meal prep and a healthier recipe, add this slow-roasted chicken to your menu. While this isn't cooked on a rotisserie like traditional rotisserie chicken, it is filled with the spices you'd find in rotisserie chicken. It's flavored wonderfully and the chicken is super juicy.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 - whole chicken (about 4 lbs) - neck and giblets removed
1 teaspoon(s) chili powder
3 teaspoon(s) smoked paprika
1 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
2 teaspoon(s) dried parsley
1 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon(s) salt (more or less to taste)

Steps:

  • Spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Roll 4 balls of aluminum foil and place on the bottom of greased slow cooker (to use as rack for chicken so the juices will stay in the bottom of slow cooker under the chicken).
  • Remove neck and goblet from the chicken, rinse the chicken with water, and pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together salt, pepper, and seasonings.
  • Rub seasoning mix all over chicken skin.
  • Place the chicken on top of the aluminum foil.
  • Cover with the lid and cook on low for 7-7.5 hours, or on high for 4-4.5 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Make sure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. Carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker (it's very tender and it could fall apart). Serve the chicken as desired.
  • If you want crispier skin, place the chicken on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes.
