I would think putting large pieces of potato and resting the chicken on those will do the same thing. I have also scene plastic racks for the C.P. at places like Bed Bath and Beyond as well.

I will take a handful of seasoning mix of my choice, lift the skin and rub the seasoning between the flesh and the skin of the bird. I then dice up celery, onions, and carrots and put that mixture in the cavity of the bird. I then rub a small amount of olive oil over the skin and rub more seasoning over the body of the whole chicken. I ball up about 5 pieces of foil and place those at the bottom of my C.P. I place the chicken on top breast side down and turn my crockpot on high and cook the bird between 4 and 5 hours. I generally start checking the temperature at 4 and keep checking until the white meat is 165 degrees. You need no other liquids and you have to turn your C.P. on high otherwise the chicken will not turn out. I hope this helps.

I realize there are many recipes for oven roasted chicken. My past experience results in the outside might have a bit of seasoned taste but the meat itself is bland and the white meat is very dry. The crockpot seems like the best option. I'd be interested in your tried and true tips and recipes. thank you in advance, Nancy Martin _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
