Crock Pot Roasted Herbes De Provence Whole Chicken


This chicken is so tender that it falls right off of the bones! Herbes de provence is a wonderful spice to use on poultry, fish, and veggies (even potatoes). This chicken can also be roasted in the oven, but i prefer it cooked in the crock pot -it is more tender and flavorful when it is slow-cooked. Feel free to throw some additional veggies into the crock pot for a complete meal! Another recipe from a suzanne somers' cookbook (and then modified by me to cook in a crock pot).
