Baked Chicken Using a Slow Cooker

If you want a baked chicken and do not have the time, you can use your slow cooker to do it for you.

Ingredients

• 1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1. Wad three pieces of aluminum foil into 3 to 4 inch balls, and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper and paprika, and place in the slow cooker on top of the crumbled aluminum foil.
3. Set the slow cooker to High for 1 hour, then turn down to Low for about 8 to 10 hours, or until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear.

Notes
The aluminum foil keeps the chicken out of its own grease and make the skin nice and brown.
