Preparation Steps
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub the chicken all over with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
Place the quartered onion and the halved garlic head inside the cavity of the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place the seasoned chicken on top of the onion and garlic in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
