Instructions

  1. This recipe calls for 4 cups of vegetables.  It’s up to you how you want to divide it up. I like to do 2 cups of potatoes and 2 cups of carrots, celery and onions.  For the potatoes, peel and quarter.  Fo the carrots, peel and chop up.  For the celery and onions, chop.  Place the vegetables in the bottom of your slow cooker.

  2. Pour chicken broth on top of the vegetables.

  3. Rinse your whole chicken under cold water.  Make sure you take the giblets out of the cavity.  Pat your chicken dry with paper towels.  Rub paprika, poultry rub and salt and pepper to taste all over the chicken – top and bottom.

  4. Place chicken on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.  Close lid.

  5. Cook on high for 4 HOURS or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
