    The first time I tried this recipe I slid a spatula under the chicken and it was so tender the whole bird caved in, the wings and legs fell off on their own. It was the most tender and juicy chicken I've ever made and I make tender chicken. Thank you so much for the recipe and much love.💖

    Just started roasting my chicken this way a couple of years ago and absolutely LOVE IT! I do put it under the broiler after I take it out just to crisp the skin! But the most tender and juiciest chicken ever!! My wings and drumsticks used to always DRY out on me in the oven - but not with this method!! I do turkey breast this way now too! Thanks for sharing!! 😊

    I just cooked a turkey breast in my Crockpot. It smelled like thanksgiving. I went to the store for rolls and they don't sell them this time of year. I bought the sourdough bread and wow so yummy. I will try your list of seasonings next week on a chicken.

    This has been my preferred way to roast chicken for years. I don’t like the chicken sitting in its own juices as it cooks because it gets mushy. I set the chicken on a rack that keeps it an inch off the bottom. Lots of nice juices for gravy etc. i sometimes put onions, celery and parsley inside for more flavor.

    This has been my favorite way to cook whole chickens this year. I love the way the flavor turns out and the meat is so juicy. Not having the crispy skin doesn’t bother us as we don’t eat chicken skin usually. If we want crispy skin we have other recipes for that. Also I love to do this and shred the whole chicken and freeze to meal prep for lazy days! I usually add veg on the bottom if it’s for dinner but now I want to try this seasoning blend you made up for it, sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing we love your videos and recipes in our home! ❤

    You could also do this on a pellet cooker outside. With approx 30 seconds of research I found the crock pot temps are 200 on low and 300 on high. I wouldn't do chicken at 200 as there'll be WAY too much smoke, but 300 will give a nice smokey element. Just another option.
