Italian Dressing Whole Chicken Crock Pot Recipe

"It's super easy! The chicken is falling of the bone, juicy and very tender. I save the juices for gravy and stock. I serve with mashed red potatos and corn on the cob. The leftovers are great too! Make sure your crockpot (5-7 quart) is large enough to handle a whole chicken"

  1. A great recipe for crock pot chicken. I cheated and used breasts and legs as opposed to the whole chicken. I marinated in the Good Seasons Italian Dressing for about 5 hours and then I put all in the crock pot and cooked on high for 4 hours. It was perfect and as you said, falling off the bones, tender. Made for Spring PAC 2012. Thx Sarah!
     
  2. I made this and this is WONDERFUL!! I Easy and very tasty!
     
  3. This was good and very easy to make. I followed the recipe as written except I used a chicken with a pop up timer and mine was done in about four hours but my crockpot does cook hotter then some. We all enjoyed this. Made for Spring PAC 2012
