Slow Cooker Rosemary Roasted Chicken with Potatoes
My local Crest Foods had the McCormick Recipe Inspirations on sale 2/$1 so I decided that I would pick up a few to try. Tonight we are doing Rosemary Roasted Chicken with Potatoes. I love these because all of the ingredients are pre measured and Monday's are kinda hectic for us so I wanted something easy. Now the recipe on the back of the package calls for an oven recipe but I wanted to see if I could try this in the slow cooker.

don’t know what the website is, cn you help me please,
Planning on making this tomorrow, will it really work if my whole chicken is frozen? Or shoul I try thawing it first?
Yes you can do this with a frozen chicken. I could frozen chicken in my crockpot all the time. I just allow for a longer cooking time.
Why do you use tin foil balls?
The foil balls lift the chicken up so that it’s not sitting in the juices. It still stays moist and juicy like a rotisserie style chicken.
Can you use chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken, and if so, would the tin foil balls still be needed.
Yes ma’am and you shouldn’t need the balls.
