Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by patting the whole chicken dry with paper towels. Season it inside and out with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Place the seasoned chicken in the center of your crockpot. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken, if desired.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for about 6 hours without lifting the lid.
After cooking, check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it has reached at least 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the crockpot and let it rest on a cutting board for about 10 minutes before carving.
