Ingredients & Directions

Directions

Citrus Roasted Chicken

4 lb
3-4
carrots, cut into cubes
1 large
onion, sliced
3 medium
potatoes, cut into cubes
3 teaspoons
sweet paprika
1 teaspoon
oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons
thyme
1 1/4 teaspoon
salt
1 teaspoon
onion powder
2 1/2 teaspoons
garlic powder
1 tablespoon
olive oil
1/2
orange, sliced
fresh rosemary sprigs
  1. Take a long piece of aluminum foil and roll it up to create "ring" for the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Add the potatoes, onions and carrots to the center of the ring.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients: sweet paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, onion powder, garlic powder.
  4. Remove giblets from the cavity of the chicken and discard or save for another use.
  5. Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  6. Rub the chicken with the olive oil and then coat all of the chicken with the dry seasonings, trying to get some up under the skin.
  7. Place orange slices and fresh rosemary into the cavity of the chicken and use butcher's twine to tie the drumsticks together.
  8. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and foil ring in the slow cooker, with the breast side up.
  9. Place lid on cooker and cook on high for 4-5 hours or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F.

Optional for making crispy, brown skin: carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place on a baking sheet. Broil on high for 5 to 7 minutes in the center rack of the oven or until skin reaches desired crispiness.
