Fauxtisserie Chicken

1 whole chicken
salt based seasoning (season salt or this great rub)

Optional-
garlic
fresh herbs

Make 3 balls of aluminum foil and place them in the bottom of your slow cooker.  These hold the chicken off the bottom so the air can circulate all around the chicken and so it isn't stewing in it's own juices.

Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels.  Place the chicken breast side up on a plate.  Pull the skin up all around the chicken.  Stick the garlic and fresh herbs under the skin.

Rub the seasoning VERY liberally onto the skin of the chicken (I like some underneath too).  Place the chicken breast side up on the foil in the slow cooker.  Cook on low 7-8 hours.

*The chicken will be very tender when done.  We love to eat it with mashed potatoes and gravy, or I will shred the chicken and use it in other meals.  You can also strain the drippings and you have some yummy chicken stock.
