List of ingredients for Roasting a chicken in a slow cooker


* 1 whole raw Chicken - if it has been Frozen, ensure that it is completely Defrosted.
* 1 Onion, un peeled, cut into quarters
* A few sprigs of Fresh herbs of choice (if available)
* 2 tablespoon of Olive oil
'''rub'''

* 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
* 1 teaspoon fine Salt
* 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
* 1 teaspoon Paprika powder
* ½ teaspoon chilli powder
* ½ teaspoon Smoked paprika powder (optional)
* 1 teaspoon Dried mixed herbs
* Plenty of aluminium foil

===Method===
* Scrunch up the aluminium foil into 8 loose balls, line the base of the Slow cooker with these.
* These will keep the Chicken from sitting in the cooking juices, so we get a Dry roast.
* Remove and discard the innards, if any (Heart, Liver, neck etc)
* Remove the Parson's nose.
* Rinse inside and out with cold-running water and pat dry using Paper towels.
* Drop the quartered Onion into the cavity together with any Fresh herbs you may have to Hand.
* Mix the rub ingredients together in a small bowl.
* Using you hands, massage the Oil all over the Chicken's skin.
* Cover the Chicken with the rub so it is really well coated.
* Sit the Chicken (breast upwards) gently on the aluminium foil, taking care not to crush it.
* Set the slow cooker to low and leave to cook for 8 hours. It won't hurt if it's left for a little longer.
* Check the chicken has reached a safe cooking temperature [74 °C (165 °F)]
