I have been making my roasted chicken this way for years. The chicken comes out moist, the skin comes out crispy - what's not to love?
Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken
1 whole chicken, cleaned and patted dry with paper towels
Lawry's Seasoning Salt
Aluminum foil
Roll pieces of foil into balls and then place in the bottom of the crockpot. Liberally cover chicken with seasoning salt, and put in the crockpot on top of the foil, breast side up. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or til done.
Cooking on high ensures a nice crispy crust. Do not cook on low.
Remove chicken CAREFULLY from crockpot at the end of cook time, and allow to rest 5-10 minutes before carving.
I do not have the nutritional info on this.

3 Envelope Pot Roast
I received a new slow cooker for Christmas - one of my I own. It is a Hamilton Beach Programmable 6 qt Slow Cooker, and I think I'm in love. Today is the first time I've used it, and so far, so good.

First Post
Its been YEARS since I've blogged. I'm a bit rusty. I intend to post only recipes that I've tried and either loved, or my family has loved. My family consists of my 2 boys, hence the 'nick' and 'gabriel' of my addy. They are 7 and 4 years old. We live together with my parents. I'm also a full-time college student. I lost my husband to leukemia 4 years this april, so that might occassionally come up from time to time.
I've created this site from being asked often for recipes from both my family members, friends, and online buddies. Rather than email people, its gotten to the point where its just easier to start a blog :)
Happy cookin'.
