Team KoalaBunny's Adventures

The recipe comes from genius kitchen but I made modifications with spices that I preferred or had on hand and with different proportions which I guess technically makes it my recipe:
http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/crock-pot-whole-chicken-33671

Ingredients: I bought a 5 lb spring whole chicken that was on sale
Spices:
4 tsp sea salt
4 tsp paprika
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp thyme
2 tsp rosemary
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp cumin 
1 tsp garlic powder

1. In a small bowl, combine the spices.
2. Remove any giblets from chicken and clean chicken.
3. Rub spice mixture onto the chicken.
4. Place in resealable plastic bag and refrigerate overnight. (Try not to skip this step as the chicken comes our so much better)
5. When ready to cook, put chopped onion in bottom of crock pot.
6. Add chicken. No liquid is needed, the chicken will make its own juices.
7. Cook on low 4-8 hours (usually 8 for me)

Here's the photo with koala's approval: I'd show you the whole chicken but it was devoured so quickly ><

The koala had bought crushed pineapple instead of pineapple pieces. So we I got this from the following website but with modifications: https://www.momontimeout.com/practically-perfect-pineapple-cake/ 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 20 oz can Dole crushed pineapple in 100% juice (do not drain) 2 eggs Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and baking soda. Mix in vanilla extract, crushed pineapple, and eggs until combined. Pour into prepared baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely. I did an upside down pineapple cake sticking the round pineapple rings I had leftover with mints.
