bake in a dutch oven

or

use an oven bag in a 13x9x2 pan

 

pop in oven, wait patiently 

 

in the oven potatoes will brown so plop a few on top

yummo

 

in the summer - chicken salad sandwiches with any leftover chicken

in the winter - the drippings make an awesome chicken soup

 

 

3 - 4  lb chicken
or
5-7  lbs roasting chicken

2 cups potatoes
1 cup onion or 1 med onion
3 cups veggies
1-2 tsp poultry seasoning

Preheat oven to 350°F.  In Dutch Oven or opened Cooking Bag placed in 13x9-inch baking pan place chicken, rub seasoning over chicken, add vegetables, I like to place some vegetables under chicken.  Bake in lower half of oven 1 ½-2 hours, depending on chicken size. Remove from oven. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut open bag. Serve chicken and vegetables with pan juices.

3 - 4  lb about 1 ½ hours with veggies
5-7  lbs about 2 hours with veggies

 

Crockpot instructions:

Place vegetables in crockpot, add deskinned chicken , rub seasoning over chicken.  Cook 8 hours on low, 4 hours on high. 

Veggies don't brown I put them all under chicken.

I take the skin off I don't like the idea of my veggies swimming in chicken fat.  Leave the skin on if you don't care where your veggies have been swimming;0)

 

Variations:

Barbeque rub is great especially if you want to make chicken salad with the leftovers

1 tsp each Rosemary and garlic, salt and pepper to taste

Rotisserie Style seasoning adapted from A Year of Slowcooking

2 tsp kosher salt (if you'd like it as salty as the ones in the store, add another 1 tsp.)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
pinch of chili pepper (probably not necessary)
1 tsp garlic powder
