Have you ever cooked a whole chicken in your crock pot? Cris and I love it! So we thought we would put together a list of some Really Good Whole Chicken Recipes just for you!
Aunt Lou here.
If you have read many of my posts, you know that I am all about getting the most bang for my buck when it comes to feeding my family (well, and just about anything really!). That is one reason I LOVE cooking a whole chicken. Talk about getting the most for your money!
Whole chickens are also good for the holidays. Say your family isn’t a fan of turkey or maybe you don’t need a huge bird (or want a ton of leftovers!), go ahead and make up a whole chicken instead!
However, I do admit that there was a time when I was intimidated by cooking a whole chicken…really intimidated. Cris talked me into trying a recipe, assuring me that it was super simple. I was still apprehensive, but (as much as it pains me to say it 😉 ) she was right! So, if you are like I was and a tidbit afraid of cRockin’ up a whole chicken, rest easy! We have a whole bunch of Really Good Whole Chicken Recipes that you can choose from for your first!
Or maybe you are an old pro at cRockin’ whole chickens and are looking for some variety. We gotcha covered too!

Put a crockpot liner in the pot. I chop up onions, carrots and celery and put in the pot….about 2 inches high. Barely cover with water. Top with a whole salt & peppered chicken and cook on low 8 hours. Take chicken out of the pot and let cool till you can strip the carcass. ( I then use the chicken to make enchiladas). I put all the chicken scraps back in the pot, add 4 cups water and cook on low for 12 hours (overnight). The next day, i poke holes in the bottom of the slow cooker liner and drain all that good stock into a large bowl. Then measure out 2 cups at a time and place in zip lock bags and freeze. Homemade stock!! Each ziplock equals about 1 can of stock. Oh, and I save the carrot chunks from the scraps. My dogs love them!!
What a great idea … I give my dog the cooked vegetables, too.
