It is ridiculously easy but we had a few disappointments.
We neglected to take the chicken our of the freezer very much in advance. So, it was still frozen when we woke up from sleeping in on Sunday. So, I had to spend like 2 hours thawing it in water. Needless to say, we went with the 4 hours on high method. Also, the way our day went (3 loads of laundry, deciding and applying for a new credit card for our wedding (to get miles for the honeymoon), cleaning the apartment), we were a little behind schedule by the time we wanted to go for a run. When we got back from the run, the four hours were up, so we put the crock pot on warm, took showers, and then made the sides.
Oh, the other thing was that ... our chicken said on the package "with giblets." (Even though the website/blog I got it from made a comment about aren't we all happy they don't give us that anymore? Well, false for us I guess). But, we couldn't find said giblets before cooking it. We figured that they were in a little package that when we made a turkey and we'd just take them out and toss them once we went to carve. Well, apparently with the chicken the giblets are just inside the bird and we didn't see them not in a packet?? Because when we went to cut open the bird there was all this mushy grey stuff. So, we had to try to scrape that off of the meat so it wouldn't infest the good stuff.
The chicken was good, but it was a little dry. We are still searching for our go-to whole chicken cooking method.
(We also bought a 2 liter of Coke Zero because we weren't going to drink a 12 pack of soda -- particularly not regular Coke).
