Step 1

Make a ring out of aluminum foil and place this in the bottom of your crockpot and place the chicken on top.

Step 2

Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, oregano, and chili powder together in a small bowl then sprinkle them over the chicken. Put the lid on the crockpot and set it on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. (see notes)

Step 3

Remove the chicken from the crockpot. Pour the liquid in the pot into a small frying pan and bring it to a boil. Whisk the tapioca starch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and add it to the pan. Whisk until the gravy thickens.

Step 4

If you'd like crispy skin, place the chicken on a baking sheet or low-sided pan and broil it for about 5 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before you carve it.
