Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken

  1. Prep the Chicken:
    • Remove giblets from the chicken cavity and pat dry with paper towels.
    • Rub the chicken inside and out with olive oil or melted butter.
  2. Season the Chicken:
    • In a small bowl, mix together salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
    • Sprinkle the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, rubbing it into the skin and cavity.
  3. Cook in Slow Cooker:
    • Place the seasoned chicken breast side up in the slow cooker.
    • Cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

Step 2: Air Fryer Finish
