Crock Pot Chicken and Potatoes Rotisserie Style
I love this Crock Pot Chicken and Potatoes dish.
One of the biggest challenges for many of us today is figuring out how to find time to cook, clean, and get supper on the table. This recipe for Rotisserie Style Crock Pot Chicken and Potatoes changes all of that because this gorgeous chicken dinner that you see before you pretty much cooks itself in your crockpot while you go about your day.
How To Organize The Ingredients In the Crock Pot
This is a wonderfully easy recipe to throw together in your slow cooker—the chicken will end up tasting like a freshly made, juicy rotisserie from your local deli. I season mine lightly, but you can go heavier on flavor using whatever herbs and spices you like.
Keep In Mind Where To Put the Potatoes
Placing the potatoes under the chicken allows the chicken to cook above the juices rather than in them so that the chicken browns nicely, while the rich broth adds depth to the red potatoes beneath. Make sure you get small red potatoes about golf ball size because larger ones will hold the chicken up too high and the slow cooker lid won’t fit on.
So grab a few ingredients (Three, you only need three things!) and put this Crock Pot Chicken and Potatoes on the menu for the weekend!
To make Rotisserie Style Crock Pot Chicken and Potatoes with you’ll need:
- Red potatoes
- Seasoned Salt (such as Season All)
- A whole chicken
Clear out the Inside of Your Chicken
Make sure nothing is inside your chicken. They used to always have giblets inside it but as a new generation of cooks have come into the kitchen I think most chicken companies have stopped doing that.
How to Make Chicken and Potatoes in a Slow Cooker
- Place potatoes in bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker. Sprinkle chicken liberally with seasoned salt. Place atop potatoes.
- Make sure chicken sits low enough in the pot for the lid to go down all the way. If it doesn’t, you may need to cut your potatoes in half so that it sits lower.
- Cover and cook until cooked through, juicy, and aromatic, 7 to 8 hours on low, 3 to 4 hours on high. I like to cook mine all day long.

Hi Christy can I use seasoned salt on the chicken and potatoes
Made this for dinner yesterday. It was excellent. I used a crockpot bag and cleanup was a snap. Thank you for sharing.
I am so glad you liked it Brenda!! Aren’t those slow cooker liners the handiest things ever?!
The crockpot liners are wonderful for camping!! Christy, I love your recipes, stories, and quotes. I can relate to so many of them. Thank you!!
Thank you so much Jean!!!
We’ve been making this recipe almost every week. The potatoes are so good too! Sometimes I use them in potato salad. Thankfully my husband could eat chicken every day!
Love simple recipes that still taste great. You have so many great recipes! Do you wash, rinse your chicken? I’ve read that it is not advised. Thanks!
I don’t. We were taught in culinary school that it doesn’t serve any purpose and ends up only spreading bacteria. Thanks for being here and I appreciate you taking time to chat today!
I love the Garlic herb seasonings on the Grocery store rotisserie chicken and how JUICY it is. I keep trying to replicate the chicken at home. No luck. I am a pretty good old fashioned home cook. I like being able to control the “bad stuff” they put in processed food. I cannot mimic the garlic herb seasoning that makes my favorite chicken so tasty ..HELP, do you have any ideas???

I have a friend that once worked in the chicken industry where the rotisserie chickens for several chain grocery stores were prepared. She said that one of the things that make it so hard to duplicate is that the chickens are injected with some seasoning and rubbed with some seasonings. Perhaps one of the injector kits like for turkeys might make the difference. I will see if I can get any more information from her on exactly what seasonings are used.
