Ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) jar salsa
• 1 (5 pound) whole chicken
• 1 sweet onion, sliced and separated into rings

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Transfer chicken to a cutting board, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before cutting.

Step 2

Spread onion rings in the bottom of a slow cooker; place chicken on top, breast-side down. Pour salsa over chicken.

Step 3

Cover slow cooker. Cook on High until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh near but not touching the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
