Whole Chicken Crock Pot Recipe

This was my first time cooking a whole chicken on my own.  I always thought of cooking a whole chicken as intimidating (maybe it was because of the giblets and other things..), but it turns out it is really easy!  

I cooked the chicken in the crock pot, and then roasted it in the oven for 30 mins.  

Ingredients

1 whole chicken

Chicken seasoning 

1 onion (I used a shallot)

2 tbsp minced garlic

Directions

1.  Dice onion and place on the bottom of the crock pot. 

2.  Take giblets out from inside the chicken and place chicken on top on onions in crock pot. 

3.  Cook on low 3 1/2- 4 1/2 hours.

4.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 

5.  Take chicken out of crock pot and place in a baking pan. 

6.  Add vegetables - I added baby carrots and fingerlings potatoes. 

7.  Pour liquid from the crock pot over vegetables and chicken.  

8.  Place in over and bake for ~30 mins or until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear.
