Instructions:
Prep the Chicken: Pat the raw chicken dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp slightly, even in a slow cooker.
Season It Up: Rub the ranch seasoning mix all over the chicken, inside and out. Don’t be shy — the seasoning is where the magic happens.
Butter Makes It Better: Slice the butter and place it on top of the chicken. As it melts, it will baste the chicken and lock in flavor.
Cook Low and Slow: Place the seasoned chicken into your slow cooker breast-side up. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or high for 4–5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and juicy.
Optional Finish: For a crispy skin, pop the chicken under the broiler for 5–7 minutes after slow cooking.
The Result?
Tender, flavorful chicken with melt-in-your-mouth texture — and zero effort. Serve it as is, shred it for tacos or sandwiches, or save the leftovers for soups and salads.
Give this easy slow cooker recipe a shot, and you just might retire that store-bought rotisserie bird for good.
