Kelly, thanks for the suggestion! I have a large crockpot and roasting a chicken in it sounds divine to me! Usually I can get two meals out of a chicken, first night is as-is, the next night it's shredded in our taco shell bowls, yum! Sharons last blog post..Salmon in a Snap!

Kristen, I left the lid on, but maybe it was because I left it in for a fairly long time. By the way, the stock was delicious in soup afterwards.

I often do this as well, and I have a big crock pot, but it never has crispy brown skin. Did you leave the lid on or off?

Hmmm….the last time I did this I used my smaller crockpot — had to stand the chicken up. I have since received a larger crockpot as a gift; will have to try it again as I’d be able to lay the chicken on its back. I have a whole chicken in the freezer. Sounds like a good project for the weekend.

That’s funny Nancy, I got a really nice, crispy and brown skin using this method! Maybe because I have a bog crockpot and the sides don’t touch?

I’ve used this method too. And for just our family it’s fine but I do like the nice color and crispy skin you get from roasting in the oven. A must have for company. However, there’s alot to be said for the simplicity of using the crockpot.
