This delicious and deceptively simple whole chicken recipe is best cooked in a slow cooker.

Equipment

You'll need unwaxed kitchen string.

Ingredients (serves 4)

2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons onion powder
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1.4kg whole chicken
4 large potatoes, halved (see note)
steamed vegetables, to serve 

Method

Combine paprika, onion powder, garlic, salt, pepper, oil and 2 tablespoons cold water in a bowl.

Rinse chicken (including cavity) under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towel. Trim excess fat. Tie legs together with string. Using clean hands, rub chicken with paprika mixture.

Place potatoes in base of 4.5 litre-capacity slow cooker (see note). Place chicken, breast side up, on potatoes (see note). Cook, covered, on LOW for 6 hours or until cooked through. Serve with vegetables. 

Notes

Placing the chicken on potato lets the chicken cook evenly and the skin to brown slightly. Discard potatoes after cooking.
