I am so sorry but this did not work for me. I prepared a 4lb bird and followed all the steps according to the recipe, however when I returned from work the chick was not only not done (11 1/2 hours) but also it was yellowish and rubbery. I was able to take it out of the crockpot and it had no indications of falling apart. I placed it in the oven to finish cooking and browning. We felt it was lacking in flavor as well. Perhaps adding fresh herbs to the cavity, and half a lemon would have bumped up the flavors. Once again I am sorry as I was really excited to have a roast chicken from my crockpot and not have to heat up the kitchen.

I love this trick of roasting chicken in the crockpot. I have cooked this at least 4 times, and most of the skin will cook to almost brown. I did make changes to the ingredients (that's why I'm giving 4, instead of 5 stars). I used the spice blend from ROAST "STICKY" CHICKEN #8782 (I half the cayenne) and pretty much follow the recipe. I rub a small amount of olive oil onto the chicken to help the spices stick, and I place a small pat of real butter under the skin of each breast. I don't refridgerate it, just let it cook over night, at least 10 hrs. Leg will move easily in socket when done. Many people are surprised that it was "roasted" in the crockpot. The chicken is very flavor full and moist(I think the butter helps) and the spices give the skin a nice color. The juices that collect may have to be drained (I used a baster to remove juice)so the chicken isn't sitting in too much, but don't throw it out it's sooo good. Thanks Marie for the "roasting" idea I love it and use it often. I have recieved many requests for this technique.
