4 pound whole chicken
1 teaspoon salt

4. Mix the spices together and season the chicken.
5. Rub the seasoning under the skin of the breasts and place in the slow cooker on top of the crumpled aluminum foil.
6. Set the slow cooker on Low for about 8 to 10 hours, or until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, or cook it on high for 1.5 hours
