Ok now to tonight’s dinner.

This is tender, fall-off -the-bone chicken! I love this recipe and meal because it is simple yet has AWESOME flavor. I also like it because Jen works from home and has to smell the dinner cooking slowly. Ok let’s get to cooking.

Whole Chicken with Spice Rub in the Crock Pot

4 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon thyme, chopped

1 teaspoon white pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 onion, chopped

In a small bowl, combine the above minus the onion.

Rub spice rub onto the chicken.

Put chopped onion in botton of the crock pot.

Add chicken to the crock pot and add no liquid at all! The chicken will make it’s own yummy juices.

Put the lid on the crock pot and cook for 8 hours on LOW.

The chicken will just fall off the bone but here is a picture right when I got home:

So the only thing I had to do to complete this meal was make a salad. Here is the finished product:

Now if you want a  simple thing to make in the crock pot for dinner then try this and the clean up is a breeze.

Ok this Sunday I am going to make a pretty big meal and I will make HOMEMADE MASHED POTATOES because so many people have expressed their displeasure of my use of instant mashed potatoes on my steak dinner, and on other posts.  For the first time, I had comments that I couldn’t even post because the remarks were not clean!   Who knew people were so passionate about homemade mashed potatoes?? So I will make them, due to popular demand, and you will see why I don’t make mashed potatoes from scratch on the weekdays with my work schedule. Happy TGIF!

Happy Cooking!
