A whole chicken cooked in a slow cooker can be used in so many ways. You can serve it as a main dish. Add some veggies and salad, and you have a quick, easy, delicious, and healthy meal for the whole family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you can shred leftovers and use them for another recipe. If you don\u2019t have any idea how to use up leftover rotisserie chicken, then you should check these delicious recipes: Chicken Parmesan Casserole, Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Casserole,\u00a0or\u00a0Chicken Alfredo Bake.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-cook-a-whole-chicken-in-a-slow-cooker\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>How to cook a whole chicken in a slow cooker?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making your own rotisserie-style chicken at home is super simple. One of my favorite ways to make a whole chicken is in my slow cooker. Making the entire roasting chicken tucked right in there is so easy. In a crock pot, a whole chicken is slow-cooked to perfection. Meat stays tender and soft, never dries out, and keeps all its flavors.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9484\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai\/w_770+q_lossy+ret_img+to_webp\/omgchocolatedesserts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Slow-Cooker-Rotisserie-Chicken-2.jpg\" alt=\"Part of Whole chicken cooked in a slow cooker laying on big white plate and garnished with parsley.\" width=\"770\" height=\"1100\" data-spai=\"1\" data-spai-upd=\"770\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All you need to do is rub the seasoning mix into the chicken skin. Then arrange balls of aluminum foil on the bottom of the slow cooker and place the whole chicken on top, cover with the lid, and cook for a few hours. It takes about 4 hours on high or 7-8 hours on low. Cooking time depends on the size of the chicken you use and the brand of your slow cooker. So, cook until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165\u00b0F. That way, you\u2019ll get delicious, fall-off-the-bone chicken that stays moist and tender, keeping all the juiciness and flavors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perfectly seasoned chicken in a slow cooker tastes like it\u2019s fresh off the rotisserie. \u00a0Seasoning mix gives chicken a slow-roasted flavor and golden appearance without using a rotisserie. If you want a crisper skin, you can broil chicken in the oven for 5 minutes, but it\u2019s so delicious even without this extra step.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9485\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai\/w_770+q_lossy+ret_img+to_webp\/omgchocolatedesserts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Slow-Cooker-Rotisserie-Chicken-3.jpg\" alt=\"Peace of chicken breast from Whole chicken cooked in a slow cooker.\" width=\"770\" height=\"1161\" data-spai=\"1\" data-spai-upd=\"770\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1773863895462\" class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you make rotisserie chicken in a crockpot?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can make rotisserie-style chicken in a crockpot.
