Crock Pot Whole Chicken

---

Tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken! Skip the overnight refrigeration if you are in a hurry. For variety, eliminate the onion and substitute a quartered lemon or two, stuffed into the chicken cavity. chef shapeweaver had a good suggestion: use fajita seasoning mix #28011 as another variation. thanks! the standard size slow cookers are a bit too small and a whole chicken won't fit. you'll need a 6-quart slow cooker for this recipe.
