Ingredients

4 teaspoons salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 whole chicken

Instructions

Collect all the necessary ingredients.
In a small bowl, combine salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, thyme, white pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Thoroughly rub the seasoning mixture over the entire chicken for even flavor distribution.
Place the seasoned chicken in a large resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Remove the chicken from the bag and cook in a slow cooker on Low until fully cooked, with clear juices and no pinkness near the bone, approximately 4 to 8 hours. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
