Big Mama, a favorite blogger that I regularly stalk, is hungry. She seems to have hit the summertime cooking wall. She would like some new recipes so I thought I would help her out. Since she lives in the south, I decided that I'd better stick with something that doesn't need the oven! After tapping my creative juices this morning I am coming up a bit short of ideas. So I will fall back on one of my most uncreative but can't fail recipes.....
Chicken Throw
1 Whole Chicken, washed
Salt/Pepper
Chicken Seasoning (or just use some Paprika and garlic powder)
1 Crockpot
Generously sprinkle seasoning all over chicken. Throw it in a cooking sprayed crockpot mid morning with 1/2 cup water or broth. Cook on high for 5-7 hours. You can stick a whole onion, stalk of celery and a carrot in its cavity if you are feeling rather fancy. The chicken will fall off the bone when it's ready. Heat up a jar of gravy and a tray of mashed potatoes and your family will eat like kings! And it won't taste or smell like grilled hamburgers or hotdogs! Enjoy!

Sometimes it's good to go back to the basics of cooking....thanks for sharing!
sounds good - I'm coming right over :)
(here from BigMama's linky list)
My kind of dish, super simple! One question, though...how far back should I stand when I throw the chicken into the crockpot?
Every crowd has a smart-aleck, huh? ;-Þ
Off to check out the rest of Big Mama's Mr. Linky......
Thanks for the inspiration. I tend to use my crockpot lots during the colder months, but now I'll be bringing out in the summer too.
That sounds great! Thanks so much for sharing I printed this off. I need to dust off the crock pot!
