My husband and I were recently given 28 days to move 1200 miles away . . . 28 days to find a house 1200 miles away, pack our current house, sell our current house, and then get our things to the new house 1200 miles away. I refused to live off fast food, especially since just 3 days before we accepted this challenge I had decided to do a whole 30. I know I’m a little crazy, and no, it didn’t go exactly as planned. But here’s a recipe that helped save time, stress, and me from the drive thru.
It’s very easy to change the taste of a roasted chicken. I’m going with simple, using oregano and chili powder. You could just as easy swap the oregano for basil and the chili powder for red chili pepper flakes—serve it with roasted spaghetti squash with some pesto! Or just rub taco spices and salsa all over it . . . . Anyway, here’s what I used today:
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp ancho chili powder
½ tsp white pepper
½ tsp paprika



This look amazing! I have always wanted to cook a whole chicken in the crock pot but never knew how! Thanks Bex!
I love cooking a whole chicken in the crock pot! It makes it so tender and flavorful. I need to try your version out.
