A Little Spicy & A Lot Delish!

If you've ever wanted to make a whole chicken in your crockpot... You'll LOVE this whole chicken slow cooker recipe.

It's a super easy recipe too! You mix the spices, pour it over your chicken and cook it all day long.

The asparagus isn't a crockpot recipe but it makes up super easy and complements the dish really well.

Just take 2 to 3 asparagus spears, wrap them in a bacon strip, dab with the crockpot drippings and sprinkle on a bit of garlic powder and parsley. Put them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes. Nothing to it :)

You can also change up the spices. Make up your own seasonings or use something prepackaged...it'll taste and look a bit different than the pictures here but it'll still taste delicious!
