Slow Cooker Baked Chicken

Wow, talk about fall of the bone, tender chicken! My kids absolutely loved this. They each had three servings, yes three! It was such a simple fix it and forget about it meal. Just what I needed! You can also try stuffing the chicken with veggies or dressing. I'm going to next time, that way it is a one pot meal.

Ingredients:
1 2-3lb. whole chicken (just make sure it will fit in your slow cooker)
salt & pepper
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1 cup chicken broth
butter

Directions:
1. Wad three pieces of foil into 3" balls. Place them in the bottom of your slow cooker.
2. Rinse chicken, inside and out, under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. Rub chicken with butter and season to your liking, try to season under the skin as well.
3. Place chicken on top of foil balls in slow cooker. Pour chicken broth into the bottom of slow cooker.
4. Set slow cooker to high heat for 1 hour, then turn down to low heat for 8-10 hours.
