Ingredients
Roasting Chicken
1 (Choose one that fits comfortably in your crock pot.)
Lawry's Seasoned Salt
to taste (Sprinkle generously over the chicken.)
Aluminum Foil
4-5 pieces (Crumple into balls or use to wrap potatoes.)
Potatoes
4-5 (Scrub clean and wrap in foil if not using foil balls.)
Instructions
1
Crumple 4-5 pieces of aluminum foil into balls or wrap 4-5 scrubbed clean potatoes in foil. Place these at the bottom of the crock pot. This will elevate the chicken, allowing it to roast instead of boiling in juices.
2
Thoroughly rinse the roasting chicken under cold water, then pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy skin.
3
Generously sprinkle the entire chicken with Lawry's Seasoned Salt, making sure to cover all surfaces for maximum flavor.
4
Carefully place the seasoned chicken on top of the foil balls or the foil-wrapped potatoes in the crock pot.
5
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set the heat to HIGH. Cook for about 6 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Note that the longer you cook it, the more tender it will become, but it may start to fall apart when removing from the pot.
