Crockpot Connoisseur - Chicken

I found this recipe here.
Seriously the EASIEST way to cook a whole chicken.
I bought a whole chicken without the insides in it so all I had to do was rinse it under water and put in the crockpot for 6-8 hours.
I made a rub to go on the outside:

• 3 tsp salt

• 2 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp cayenne pepper

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp thyme

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

It was ridiculously easy.I added some minced onion to it because I didn't have any onion in my house.


I was floored that there was no liquid required to this recipe. I seriously just put the whole chicken in there and when it was done cooking it was falling off the bone delicious!

TRY THIS RECIPE

Crockpot connoisseur - Caramel Apple Cider

4 cups apple cider

3 tablespoons caramel syrup (the ice cream topping)

1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

I times this recipe by four and made a gallon's worth of hot cider. 

I made this recipe for the pintrest party I hosted last Friday night. The group absolutely loved the cider, I was sort of hoping that I would have some left over so I could drink it throughout the week, but alas they drank it all minus a glass that I drank while cleaning up my house.

This was delicious and seriously way too easy to be this good, this will totally be my holiday party go to drink to bring somewhere. I only had it heating for a couple hours on high before the party, the drink was plenty warm and delightful. The only helpful hint I will give is each time before you serve it give the mixture a good whisking because the caramel does tend to sink to the bottom, but this is seriously trivial for how good this stuff is!

I highly recommend everyone make this!
