Step 1

Remove the chicken from its bag (best to do it at the sink, so the liquid can drain away).

Step 2

Rinse chicken with cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl combine oregano, basil, salt, sage, parsley, celery salt, nutmeg, cardamom, paprika and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Using your hands, rub the whole chicken completely in olive oil. Then sprinkle herb mixture evenly over chicken, coating all sides.

Step 5

Transfer the chicken into your crock pot.

Step 6

All that’s left is to close the lid and slow cook on low 9-10 hours or high 6-8 hours. Your goal is a temperature of 165 degrees (F).

Step 7

When it’s done…open up the lid, and turn off the heat. Transfer chicken from crockpot to a large plate, platter, or cutting board. Carve the meat from the bone and serve.
