Fauxtisserie Chicken


                             shared by Jo Dee

1 whole chicken, small enough to fit in your slow cooker
Salt-based seasoning  (Seasoning salt, Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper with salt in it, etc. Just    make sure salt is one of the first ingredients on the label.)
Whole garlic cloves, peeled
Fresh Rosemary

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 hot air can circulate all around the chicken and so it's not stewing in its own juices.
Rinse chicken, including the cavity, and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken on its back so the breast is facing up and the legs are on the plate. Pull the skin up all around the chicken, this does involve sticking your hand between the skin and the breast.  Slice a few garlic cloves in half lengthwise and stick them under the skin. You can also arrange a couple sprigs of rosemary  under the skin. This makes a very pretty chicken when it's all cooked and adds a lot of flavor.
Rub salt-based seasoning VERY liberally onto the skin of the chicken. Place chicken breast-up on the foil in the slow cooker, cover, turn heat to low, and leave it alone for 7-8 hours.
