Does anyone remember the thread (it was rather long) started a few years back about our fave crockpot recipes? There was mention of chicken and Old Bay Seasoning that I have YET to try, but wanted to this week. I can't for the life of me remember what ELSE to do other than stick the chicken in there. And then what?
Anyone? Anyone? It got such rave reviews and I'd like to try it this week!

| I posted the recipe for whole chicken and Old Bay Seasoning. You just put the whole chicken in the crockpot and then put three tablespoons, yup three over the top. It seems like a lot but it works. Enjoy, JoAnn |

Thanks, Joann! I'm so glad you remembered and are still around on the forum--I'm at work and just didn't have the heart to try to go back through all the farm kitchen posts!
It doesn't sound like a lot when you looooove Old Bay like I do :)
Thanks so much!

Oh! How long do you cook it in the crockpot, and what temp? Mine has low or high....

| I cook it on low for about 8 -10 hours. It falls off the bone so when I remove the chicken I usually use to big spoons to get it out. If I want to make a gravy I take some out and thicken it with flour or cornstarch and cook on top of the stove. If I'm lazy I just use the liquid as is and warn people it's runny: ) JoAnn |

Great. Sounds like a super Wednesday night meal to me, along with some cheesey mashed potatoes and something green!

Once in awhile, Alee :) We use whatever's on hand. I like a combo of cream cheese and cheddar, or sometimes a really good parmesan and chives makes them yummy, too!!! Go on! Knock yourself out!

Sorry but, what general flavor is Old Bay Seasoning. I would love to cook a whole chicken like that but, have never had the seasoning before?????

Gosh. How can I describe it. It's along the lines of a seasoning salt, so you don't need any extra sodium in there, but it's got a nice little kick of cayenne, and there's some paprika, some laurel (which I think, gives it the distinct flavor), mace and some other aromatics like clove.
I love it. When I was pregnant, I ate it on cream cheese on crackers!

| It's used a lot in cooking seafood. The first time I used it on the chicken when I walked into the house it smelled like the ocean to me for some reason.JoAnn |

My,now husband introduced me to Old Bay. I was always using Mrs.Dash for everything. So now I pour a can of Old Bay in a big jar as my base seasoning, add every other herb i can think of to it and leave the jar sit out on the stovetop with a spoon in it. We season everything with it from meats to my veggies cooked in the wok. I love the stuff. And when it gets low I just go buy more cheap herbs in the seasoning aisle, sometimes at Dollar General,and add to it and just keep going. It's amazing how cleaned out my seasoning cabinet is because of this. My mom and sister are even doing it. For mom we even started another jar for desserts with cinn/cloves/allspice/ginger & nutmeg. She uses mainly those spices for everything anyway. She had aquired so many bottles of these spices and didn't know what she had. Now she just has 2 large, decorative jars sitting out AND room in her cabinet for other stuff :)

From what I recall from the original recipe, there was no liquid needed because of the natural juices from the chicken. Hope I'm right about that one!

| Sharon and Tina, The recipe calls for no water. Jennifer I see no reason why it wouldn't work on the wood stove. I guess I wouldn't keep peeking at it, keep the lid on. Not sure how long it would take, the crockpot would have a more controlled heat situation. JoAnn |

Woo-Hoo wonderful chicken! Thanks so much ladies. The wood stove worked great, I checked it every hour and cooked it until the legs pulled right off. Juicy and delicious, even left overs for tomorrow night.
Warm Wishes

| Jennifer, Happy to hear you enjoyed the chicken, my family loves it. The wood stove you cooked it on--is it a wood cook stove or a wood heating stove? Warm wishes back to you, JoAnn |

JoAnn, it's a wood heating stove with a flat top. When I was little my grandpa always cooked in cast iron on their woodstove so I sorta grew up learning the basics. It's our only source of heat and we loose our power a few times each winter and my regular stove is electric. I've made roasts, beans, soups and stews but, had never tried a chicken before. It was super, thanks again.
Warm Wishes
Jennifer

| Jennifer, I do the same thing with our wood heat stove! I think one of the most fun things I did was make broth/soup with a turkey carcass. My husband never thought the ones I had done before had much flavor, then I found a recipe that you have to cook the carcass 6 - 8 hours and I think towards the end add some white wine. Well I put it on the wood stove and I think I cooked it two whole days (nights we don't stoke it) That soup was soooo delicious and a richest yellow. JoAnn |
