Slow Cooker Chicken In a Bag, the most tender chicken you will ever make

by 👩‍🍳 Cooking With a Southern Vibe in Music City USA 👩‍🍳, November 18, 2021


So easy, so good and it literally falls off the bone, it's that tender.   And it's so simple.  All you need is a slow cooker, a Reynolds Chicken Size Cooking Bag and a chicken.  I posted this recipe years ago but it's definitely worth repeating.

You just take a whole chicken, season it, put it in a Reynolds Cooking Bag, (the kind you put a turkey in at Thanksgiving, but a smaller size for a chicken, or just use the big turkey bag if you can't find a small one) squeeze out the air, twist it shut with a twisty, and put it in the slow cooker, no liquid, nothing, don't worry it won't burn.  Cook it on low for 8-10  hours, that's the key, low and slow but if you're in a pinch you can cook it on high 6 hours and the chicken literally falls off the bone.

Lift the bag out of the slow cooker with an oven mitt, snip the end and drain the chicken stock in a large bowl to use later.

This is a win-win recipe, you will love it!  Pinky swear you will.

Note:  I don't pierce the bag before I cook it because I want the chicken to steam.  When the chicken is ready to take out of the slow cooker the bag will be puffy with air, so I pierce the bag close to the twistie, let the steam escape, then take it out with my mitts and snip a corner of the bottom of the bag over a bowl to drain the liquid.

Variations:

Season it with fresh herbs, stuff it with lemons, apple, oranges, any kind of fruit you want.  Sprinkle ranch dressing on it, or taco seasoning, the possibilities are endless.  I like it with just salt and pepper myself.

You will never make more tender chicken than this.
