Rosanna Bauman - Plain Kansas: Easy Crock-Pot Chicken - Amish 365
This is the recipe we give out when someone protests that they don’t know how to cook a whole chicken. It may not be gourmet, but it will taste like it, and you can’t mess it up!
STEP ONE:
Find a 3 – 4 pound whole chicken, preferably one that has had access to green grass, fresh air and wide-open spaces.
STEP TWO:
Find a Crock-Pot. If there’s not one in your cupboard, you can get them cheap at the thrift stores; or find forty bucks and you can get a brand-new one.
STEP THREE:
If the chicken if frozen turn the crock on high, if the bird is thawed, use the low setting.
STEP FOUR:
Pour an entire bottle of one of your favorite sauces over the chicken. This can be a barbecue sauce, Jelly, raspberry chipotle sauce, peanut butter, or anything else you are brave enough to try.
STEP FIVE:
Pull the bird out of the crock pot after 3 – 5 hours, or when it tests done. You can do this by meat thermometer (165 degrees), a knife (juices run clear), or if you have a tender, pasture-raised bird you can test it for doneness like we do. The chicken’s done cookin’ when the leg bone can be pulled out of the drumstick meat with a very light touch. Getting it out of the crockpot is the biggest challenge because our chicken is so tender it literally will fall off the bone!
