This Slow Cooker whole chicken is a favorite of mine as well as my family's. It's perfect to make when we have side dishes to use up, or we're all coming and going as we eat.
This is the perfect Crock Pot dinner for easy nights.

Notes
Serve chicken with rice, mashed potatoes, veggies, salad or any other side dish.** If you want your rotisserie chicken to have crispy skin, move the chicken to a baking sheet lined with foil and put it under the broiler for 4-5 minutes until the skin is browned. Flip the chicken over if you want both sides browned.
