How To Make Pioneer Woman Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken

1. Prepare Slow Cooker: Spray the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place 3 to 4 canning jar lid bands (without the flat metal rounds) at the bottom.
2. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, pepper, salt, coriander, and cumin.
3. Prepare Chicken: Dry the chicken well. Turn it upside down and cut a 1-inch-long slit in the skin between the thigh and the backbone on each side. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
4. Cook Chicken: Place the chicken in the slow cooker on top of the lid bands. Cover and cook on low for about 7 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
5. Make Barbecue Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and pepper. Microwave for 4 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the sugar and spices are dissolved and the sauce is thickened. Let it cool completely.
6. Finish Chicken: When the chicken is ready, remove the lid from the slow cooker. Brush the chicken with barbecue sauce generously and let it rest for 10 minutes.
7. Serve: Carefully lift the chicken from the slow cooker using tongs inserted into the cavity and sliding a spatula underneath. Transfer it to a platter. Serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
