Whole Chicken Slow Cooker

Are you looking for a slow cooker that will roast a large whole chicken?

With this programmable slow cooker, you will be able to do this almost at a touch of a button.

"It is perfect for cooking a moist, fragrant (using herbs) ~7lb roaster chicken..." By Tanso, 5 Stars

"Love it!!! Big 6 quart when you have to make a lot of food. Holds an 8lb chicken." By W. Hunt, NY. 5 Stars

This Rival Smart Pot Crock Pot has a an average customer rating of 3.5 stars or above from 62% of reviewers. In my opinion, the smart pot slow cooker fits neatly in the middle between the basic manual and the programmable slow cookers because of the simple controls. Cook time and cook mode options are selected at the same time, you can either cook on high for: 4 or 6 hours, or cook on low for: 8 or 10 hours by pressing the 'cook time' button until the option you want is shown. It doesn't get any easier than, this which is why I like it! For anyone who is new to crock pot cooking, these are the cooking time ranges for just about everything. Once the specified cooking time is completed, the cooker automatically switches to Warm mode.
