This can definitely be done, but I recommend DEFINITELY cutting up your potatoes (quarters for small ones, like red potatoes, or slices for larger ones) and maybe even breaking down your chicken into quarters. This will help them both cook faster.





Here's an idea for a recipe:





3-5 lb whole chicken


1/2 c chicken broth (can sub a bit of white wine, if desired)


2 carrots, sliced


2 celery stalks with leaves


3 small potatoes, sliced


2 onions, sliced


2 tsp salt


1 tsp basil


1/2 tsp black pepper





1. Put carrots, celery, potatoes, and onions into the bottom of the crock pot. Add chicken (whole or broken down)





2. Add salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Top with basil.





3. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours --%26gt; if you cook on high for 4-5 hours, it should be done, but the meat will be less tender.Good recipe for cooking a whole chicken in the crock pot?
Potatoes take a long time unless you cut them up


Chicken will cook in 4 or 5 hours
It best too cookie ur chick in a frige not a crock pot.
You can season it with some paprika, pepper, salt, summer savory, oregano, some chives,rosemary and some Italian seasoning. Massage it into the chicken, and leave it in the container in the fridge for about 20-25 minutes. Then while its in the fridge chop up your carrots and potatoes into thin slices if you want or however you want to ( I would personally cube the potatoes and slice up the carrots) with some sliced onions and green onions and peppers if you want to. Then place them into the crock pot and put the chicken inside with the water and everything still in it ( that's the base for the gravy. Pop into the oven put it on about 350oC and leave it in there for about an hour or so, check it constantly. Serve it up with some rice.


Enjoy!
