This crockpot chicken recipe is our family's favorite. We make good use of our slow cooker with this spice rubbed sticky chicken at least once a month.
6boneless skinless chicken breastsor one whole chicken
4teaspoonssalt
2teaspoonspaprika
1teaspooncayenne pepper
1teaspoononion powder
1teaspoonthyme
1teaspoonwhite pepper
1/2teaspoongarlic powder
1/2teaspoonblack pepper
1cupchopped onion
1/2cupchicken broth
Instructions
In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices.
Remove giblets from chicken; clean the cavity well and pat dry with paper towels.
Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, both inside and out, making sure it is evenly distributed and down deep into the skin.
Place in a re-sealable plastic bag, seal and refrigerate overnight.
Stuff cavity with onions and place in slow cooker. Add chicken broth. (if using breasts, place onions on the bottom of the slow cooker).
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Use a turkey baster to remove about a cup of the liquid and place it in a saucepan. Add enough cornstarch (1 tbsp maybe) to thicken it up on low heat, makes a fab gravy!
