"Rotisserie" Chicken

submitted by Mrs. T

1 roasting chicken
Seasoning of your choice -- like lemon pepper, or Italian or Greek seasoning, or Montreal Chicken seasoning -- but the seasoning may be optional, as you will see

Rinse the chicken and remove any innards. Put it in a slow cooker and sprinkle with the seasoning of your choice. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours.

(Now, if your market sells seasoned roasting chickens, you may prefer to use those for a couple of reasons: the innards have already been removed, so you don't have to pay for them; and also, you won't need to add any extra seasoning.)

This produces a wonderfully tender chicken that just falls off the bones. You can serve it with mashed potatoes or rice and a veggie for a very easy meal. The leftovers -- it produces a lot of great, concentrated broth -- give you a great head start on a soup. Recently I wanted to make a large amount of chicken salad, so I just cooked a seasoned roaster like this and used the entire thing to make the salad. Since the meat obligingly falls off the bone, it simplifies the task of cooking chicken for any recipe.
