 Rotisserie Style Chicken

I usually buy at least one Rotisserie Chicken at the grocery store each week. Now that I know how easy it is to make Rotisserie Style Chicken at home in the crock pot I can save a huge amount of my weekly meal budget by buying whole roasters when they are on sale.

Then cooking a whole chicken in my slow cooker for dinner.

If you regularly buy a whole rotisserie chicken at the grocery store then you know your limited when it comes to the flavors available.

In my grocery stores, I can only find plain rotisserie chicken, barbecue rotisserie chicken, and lemon pepper rotisserie chicken.

Now that I've learned how easy it is to make a whole rotisserie chicken at home I can make so many different flavors by using my own fresh herbs and spices or by buying spice rubs.

One of my favorite spice blend brands is McCormick Grill Mates spice blends. I use the Mesquite blend every time I grill boneless chicken breasts.

For today's Crock Pot Rotisserie Style Chicken I used (affiliate link)  McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning.

How long to cook a whole chicken in a crock pot?

The amount of time it will take to cook a whole chicken in a crock pot will depend on how large the whole chicken is.

To slow cook a large 5 to 6-pound whole chicken in a crock pot it will take about 4-5 hours on high.

You can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken breast.

Chicken is cooked completely when the internal temperature has reached 165 F.

Crock Pot Rotisserie Style Chicken

Arlene Mobley - Flour On My Face
Crock Pot Rotisserie Style Chicken is moist and delicious when you slow cook and season a whole chicken in a crock pot. What I love the most about Crock Pot Rotisserie Style Chicken is that you can change up the flavor by rubbing a different seasoning on the outside of the whole chicken when you put it in the crock pot.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for a fresh, whole chicken around 4 to 5 pounds. Organic or free-range chickens tend to offer superior flavor and texture.
  • Dry Rub Magic: Generously apply a mix of spices such as salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to the chicken before cooking.
  • Skip the Liquid: There's no need to add broth or water; the chicken will cook in its own juices, staying moist without getting soggy.
  • Elevate Your Chicken: Place balls of aluminum foil or small potatoes at the crock pot's bottom to lift the chicken, allowing for even heat circulation and a crispy exterior.
  • Cooking Time Matters: For tender meat, cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. Low and slow is usually better, but high can work well if you're in a hurry.
  • Finishing Touch for Crispiness: After cooking, broil the chicken for a few minutes to crisp up the skin, monitoring closely to prevent burning. This adds a delightful texture contrast to the juicy meat inside.
