Tips: Other than removing the skin from a whole chicken, this crock pot
chicken was easy, tasty and gave us leftovers for other uses, such as Chicken & Vegetable Chowder. I put this in the crock pot in the morning to have dinner ready for my family on a night I was going to be gone. If you prefer to try the whole chicken in the oven, check out my Roast Chicken recipe. I also shared this recipe at Kitchen Stewardship's Carnival of Super Foods.Recipe from Southern Living: Slow-Cooker Cookbook

Perfect comfort food! You can take the bones from your oven-roasted chicken and make stock, too. So nutritious!
Thank you for joining the first October Fest Carnival of Super Foods! Next week’s theme is Super Foods (which include basic things like garlic, onions, and apples). Hope to see you back!
