Today, I’m sharing the recipe for My Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken with a delicious dry rub. This Whole Chicken in the Crock Pot Recipe is a great time saver that you can use for several more family meals. Come on in and I’ll share the recipe with you and show you How to Bake a Whole Chicken in the Crock Pot…
I can’t believe the amazing meals that I have gotten out of this one 6 lb. chicken. The first night was the chicken itself with mashed potatoes and gravy from the juices. That would have been good enough right there. The chicken is packed with flavor from an easy dry rub that is ready in seconds.
But, then I decided to play around with the leftover shredded chicken. The next night I made the easiest and most awesome Chicken Tacos, and then a Root Beer Barbeque sauce for Pulled Chicken Barbeque Sandwiches.
All from one chicken! What a great deal, and timesaver. I’ll share the links to those recipes, below.
