Instructions

Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray, and arrange the chicken and vegetables inside.
Rub the chicken with olive oil and season with a mixture of kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
Place the cut-up red potatoes, carrots, and onion in the slow cooker, then set the chicken on top.
Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the juices run clear.
Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and broil on low for 5 to 10 minutes to achieve a golden brown color.
Tent the chicken with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
If the vegetables are not done, cover the slow cooker and switch the setting to high until they become soft.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight with the spices.
Using an instant-read thermometer helps ensure the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
Adjust cooking times based on the size of the chicken; larger chickens may take longer.
