- 1). Season your chicken according to the directions on the recipe you are using.
- 2). Place your vegetables or other ingredients inside the slow cooker. Place the chicken on top and add the liquid you are using such as water or chicken stock.
- 3). Place the lid on the slow cooker and turn it on. If you cook the chicken on low, cook it for about 7 1/2 hours if you are using a 6-lb. chicken. If you choose to cook it on high, cook the chicken for about 6 1/4 hours. Cook the chicken for a shorter or longer time depending on the weight of the chicken you chose.
- 4). Insert a meat thermometer into your chicken. Make sure it has cooked to an internal temperature of 165 F before removing it from the slow cooker and serving it.
