There are many ways to cook and serve whole chickens, but not many prettier, or more juicy and delicious, than a crockpot herbed chicken.  There are times in my family where chicken pieces just won’t do.  Chicken pieces are normally what we use in our recipes, except when we want to sit down at the table, tablecloth and napkins style, with a beautiful platter of chicken.  Serving a whole chicken just looks so much more festive, and that is why we use this recipe so often for special occasions.

We really like this crockpot recipe, not only for the way the meat turns out, all juicy and good, but the aroma is wonderful!  If you put the chicken in the crockpot to cook while you’re away from home, you’ll open the door to a spicy and warm aroma filling your whole house.  Your family’s appetite will shoot right through the roof.  I have to get everything else ready and waiting to cook so dinnertime isn’t postponed any longer than it has to be.  If I don’t, my family will start in on the chicken before it’s served.
