Are you looking for a super easy family dinner idea? This Crock Pot Cajun Chicken is a great twist on your traditional whole chicken recipe.Cris here.
I am so tickled to bring you another fabulous recipe from my friendMary’s new cookbook Deep South Dish: Homestyle Southern Recipes(thanks for sending me a copy Mary!) You might recall that ah-mazing Pork Roast and Veggies I shared last week was from her cookbook too! (Psst… stay tuned on Friday… I might just be giving away a copy of this fantastic book 😉 ).

Crock Pot Cajun Chicken
Wehave made crock pot “rotisserie” chicken for years– many different ways. We have made it with just a bit of rosemary, we’ve made with with lemon, we’ve made it with Chinese 5-Spice… we’ve even made it with crispy skin! However, in all that time, it never occurred to me to add in some Cajun spices! So when we saw the chicken rub in Mary’s Slow Cooker Rotisserie-Style Chicken inDeep South Dish: Homestyle Southern Recipes, we knew we had to give it a try! We were definitely not disappointed and you won’t be either!

Slow Cooker Recommendations
Any 6 qt slow cooker will work great with this dish. I liked using myslow cookerthat has a built in meatthermometerso I could set it to 175 and the slow cooker kicked off (over to warm) once the chicken was done.
