Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and basil.

Step 2

Place trivet in the slow cooker, and then place the chicken in the slow cooker over the trivet. Drizzle with olive oil then apply the dry rub all over the chicken. Truss the chicken legs with kitchen twine and place the chicken breast side up.

Step 3

Cover and cook for 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low. The chicken is ready when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked using an instant read thermometer.

Step 4

If you wish to crisp up the skin after slow cooking, place on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and place under the broiler for 5-10 minutes or until the skin is crispy.
