4. add the garlic
5. and mix it together
6. Cut your apple in 4 and stuff it into the cavity of the chicken… removed and giblets before hand if you haven’t already
7. Rub the chicken down with the spices and garlic mixture
8. Place your bird on its bed in the Crock Pot…Cover and turn on…High for 4-5 hours Low for 8 hours
9. It should be ready to eat… almost falling off the bone!I served it with some Quick and Easy Pasta Noodles… then the next day for lunch with some Garlic Chicken Ranch Pizza

I love cooking up whole chickens because you end up with a lot of meat and I can usually get 2-3 meals out of it!  

Cooking them in the Crock Pot is super easy… You just give it a bed, dress it up and turn it on…. 5-8 hours later (depending on what your cooking it on) you have dinner for the night and leftovers to make a couple more meals with!  This is great too if your gonna be gone all day … give your self an extra 15 minutes to put it together before you leave and by the time you get home the house smells like dinner!
