DELI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse chicken and place inside plastic freezer or ziplock bag.

• Seal bag and shake it to distribute spice evenly over chicken.
• Place chicken in fridge overnight.

CROCK POT DELI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Clean chicken inside and out.
• Spray with olive oil.
• Sprinkle with seasoned salt.
• Spray inside of crock pot with PAM.
• Note: Don't put any water in the crock. Roll 3 or 4 wads of foil and put them in the bottom of the crock. The chicken is going to sit on these. Put chicken in the crock on top of aluminum balls. The chicken's breast will be on the foil. Cook on high (won't come out the same on low) 4-6 hours. You have to use the foil to get the deli taste. This chicken tastes very close to the one you would buy precooked at the deli.
