Spice Rub Crock Pot Chicken

Last night I made this recipe I found on Sarah Fragoso’s http://www.everdaypaleo.com. Her site is full of delicicious recipes, and this is one of my favorites. Very easy and super tasty.

Joe and I served this with a side of mashed sweet potatoes and pearl onions with Kerrygold grass-fed butter.

Spice Rub Crock Pot Chicken

1 5-6 lb free range organic chicken – giblets removed, rinsed, and patted dry with paper towels

1 white onion sliced
1 tsp sea salt (optional)
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne (I use about 3/4 tsp)
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder

Cover the bottom of the crock pot with the sliced onions. Mix all spices in a small bowl and then rub the spice mixture all over the whole chicken. Place the spiced chicken on top of the onions in the crock pot, cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours (depending on your crock pot). No need for any liquid, the chicken will cook in it’s own juices. Make sure you spoon the onions and a little bit of the juices over the chicken when you serve it.
