The reason that it doesn\u2019t is that the slow cooker cooks with hot moist air\/steam and so the skin doesn\u2019t get a chance to dry out and crisp up. The way to achieve that yummy crispy skin is to carefully remove the chicken from the crockpot and transfer it onto a baking sheet.<\/p>\n<p>From there, you would simply broil the chicken on high in the oven for a few minutes to get the skin crispy. You must watch it closely so the chicken doesn\u2019t burn.<\/p>\n<p>There are some appliances like the which will pressure cook AND crisp up the skin all in the same pot, like with this .<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019ve crisped up the skin MANY times simply under the broiler in the oven after the chicken is cooked in the crockpot.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Can I Serve Along Side This Roasted Chicken?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Oh the possibilities are endless!!

This is why the recipe is called Easy Slow Cooker Chicken! You have to methods to make the gravy:<\/p>\n<p>1. After the chicken has cooked and is resting, transfer the cooking juices that have collected in the slow cooker and put them into a pot. Bring them to a boil and mix in a cornstarch slurry. (cornstarch and water, ratio 2:1). That will thicken the juices up really quick into a luscious yummy gravy!<\/p>\n<p>2. In a pot, melt about 2-3 tablespoons of butter. Add approximately 1\/4c of flour and stir until it makes a paste. Cook that mixture for about a minute or two, and then slowly start adding the cooking liquids. Do this slowly and with every addition, as soon as it thickens, add more liquid until you have the consistency in the gravy you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>Just remember to do a final taste test on the gravy to set your seasonings correctly!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5763\" src=\"https:\/\/thesaltypot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slow-cooker-whole-chicken06-1024x678.jpg\" sizes=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesaltypot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slow-cooker-whole-chicken06-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thesaltypot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slow-cooker-whole-chicken06-720x477.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thesaltypot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slow-cooker-whole-chicken06-360x238.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thesaltypot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slow-cooker-whole-chicken06-180x119.jpg 180w, https:\/\/thesaltypot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slow-cooker-whole-chicken06-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thesaltypot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/slow-cooker-whole-chicken06-735x487.jpg 735w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" data-pin-description=\"Super Easy Crockpot Chicken\" data-pin-title=\"Super Easy Crockpot Chicken\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Long Can This Chicken Keep Safely In The Fridge?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As long as it\u2019s kept in an air-tight container, the chicken should keep nicely for up to 4 days.
