4 pound whole chicken (6.68)
2 carrots (0.32) diced
3 celery stocks (0.57) diced
1 yellow onion (0.78) wedged
1 cup water (0.00)
2 Tablespoons seasoning (0.29) such as Italian Herbs
2 teaspoons salt (0.08)
1 teaspoon pepper (0.32)

Add the rough chopped vegetables to the bottom of the slow cooker.
Rest the chicken on the vegetables and season liberally with ideal spice blend, using at least the salt and pepper.
Add 1/2 cup of liquid if using thawed chicken to the slow cooker, 1 cup if using a frozen chicken, and cover. Cook on low for 6 hours or High for 4 hours, depending on the size of your whole chicken.
Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to 165F internally.
Optional: spray the top of the chicken with oil. Remove the crock pot insert and broil in an oven until skin is crispy, about 5 minutes.
