Easy Slow Cooker Whole Chicken


Hi Reader,

Slow-cooker whole chicken might just be the best dinner shortcut in my kitchen right now.

I have been using my slow cooker a lot lately to see what actually turns out great and what really is not worth the hype, and this recipe easily made the cut.

Whole chickens are such a staple because one bird stretches so far. You get tender, juicy meat with hardly any hands-on work, plus enough shredded chicken for tacos, quick salads, and easy dinners all week long.

A simple spice rub and a few hours on low is all it takes.

Other ways I cook a whole bird:

🍴 Air Fryer Whole Chicken, Peruvian Style The one I make when I want the skin dark and the seasoning loud.

🍴 Easy Whole Roasted Chicken from my friend Kathryn at Family Food on the Table The oven way, if crispy skin is what you are after.

🍴 Air Fried Spatchcock Chicken Backbone out, bird flat, 35 to 40 minutes at 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Fastest whole chicken I make.

Happy Cooking,

cooked salmon in air fryer basket

Hi Reader, This air fryer salmon has been one of my most popular recipes for a while, and for good reason. Salmon in the air fryer is not only so easy to make, but the way the outside gets perfectly crisp while keeping the inside juicy and flaky is pure magic. It comes together so fast, and it's so good over rice (y'all know I love some rice) with a side of vegetables.
