DIRECTIONS
Gather and prep all ingredients.
Place the chopped carrots, celery, potatoes, and onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, combine salt, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and smoked paprika.
Remove the chicken from packaging and take out the giblets from the cavity. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
Rub oil all over the chicken, then rub the spice blend evenly over the skin.
Place the whole garlic bulb, lemon halves, and parsley inside the cavity of the chicken.
Create a foil sling long enough to lift the chicken out of the slow cooker.* Place the chicken on the sling, over the bed of vegetables.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the chicken*.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker to a baking sheet and place it under the broiler on low for 5–10 minutes while keeping an eye on it.
Slice the chicken and serve over the slow-cooked vegetables. Enjoy!
