3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Rotisserie-Style Chicken
Introduction
If you love the flavor of store-bought rotisserie chicken but want a homemade, affordable alternative,
this 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Rotisserie-Style Chicken is the perfect recipe.
With almost no prep and simple ingredients, you can enjoy tender, juicy chicken that works for
weeknight dinners, meal prep, or shredding for multiple meals.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (4–5 lbs), giblets removed
- 3–4 tablespoons rotisserie chicken seasoning
- 1 cup chicken broth or water
Instructions
- Remove the giblets from the chicken cavity and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
- Rub the rotisserie seasoning evenly over the entire chicken, including under the skin if possible.
- Pour the chicken broth or water into the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place the seasoned chicken breast-side up into the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
- Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken carefully and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving or shredding.
Description
This slow cooker rotisserie-style chicken is incredibly moist and flavorful.
The gentle heat allows the seasoning to soak deep into the meat, creating a tender,
fall-off-the-bone texture. While the skin is not crispy straight from the slow cooker,
the rich taste makes it perfect for slicing, shredding, or using in other recipes.
Tips
- For crispy skin, broil the chicken for 5–7 minutes after slow cooking.
- Save the cooking juices to make gravy, soup, or stock.
- Let the chicken rest before cutting to retain juices.
- Use leftovers for salads, sandwiches, tacos, or casseroles.
Correction
- Avoid overcooking, as chicken may become too soft or mushy.
- Always use a meat thermometer to confirm doneness.
- Do not add excess liquid; slow cookers naturally retain moisture.
Enjoy
Enjoy this easy and delicious rotisserie-style chicken as a comforting family meal
or a versatile protein for the week. With just three ingredients and a slow cooker,
this recipe delivers big flavor with minimal effort.
