Slow Cooker Beer Chicken

There's no denying  that beer is a favorite in our household. Being that I'm 9 months pregnant, I can't drink it, so I decided to cook with it! :)

Slow Cooker Beer Chicken

Ingredients:


1 3-4 lb chicken, cleaned & patted dry
4 tbsp olive oil
6-8 small red potatoes, cut into large chunks
1/2 a large onion, roughly chopped
2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 12-ounce beer (I used Goose Island 312 Wheat Ale)

Directions: 

1. Place cut up onion and potatoes in slow cooker.
2. Pour 3 tbsp of olive oil over top and half of the seasoning mixture. Stir until potatoes and onions are coated with seasonings.

3. Place cleaned and dried chicken on top of veggie mixture.

4. Pour rest of olive oil on chicken and rub around. Top with remaining seasoning mixture.

5. Pour beer on top of chicken and cook on high for 4-5 hours.

6. After chicken is done cooking, scoop out chicken and veggies and put them on a cookie sheet. Broil for about 5 minutes or less. Chicken and veggies will become crispy and browned. Enjoy!
