This is usually how I cook my chickens. Not only does it save money on the electric/gas needed to cook a chicken in the oven for a couple of hours, the chicken will come out so moist and falling off the bone, you'll never cook them in the oven again!
One 2kilo chicken, £4, and my trusty slow cooker.
Start by scrunching up some foil into balls and placing in the bottom of the cooker. This isnt strictly necessary, neither is it too brush oil around the sides, but it helps the chicken not to stick.
Upside down, strange right? Trust me. You can do it normally, i have done and its been fine. I put them upside down now as I find it makes the breast meat a lot juicier. All the juices run through them and make them very succulent. But be warned, this chicken will NOT look pretty when you take it out. I tend to take a chicken out, carve and strip it of every bit of meat, portion it out into the 3/4 meals worth and just put that dinners portion of chicken ready carved on the table. It helps to stop people taking seconds just because it's there.
This is on low, and will be until about 5pm. So easy. Dont forget to season your chicken however you want. Ive done this before and gone out for the day. Come back and stuck some baguette in the oven for 5mins, served with salad. Much quicker, cheaper and healthier than picking up a McDonalds on the way home ;)
