Instructions

Spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray.
Rub the whole chicken with olive oil, and combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken, tucking the wings beneath it.
Place the cut vegetables into the bottom of the slow cooker, followed by the chicken on top. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and juices run clear.
Preheat the broiler on low, and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Transfer the chicken to the baking sheet and broil for 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.
After broiling, tent the chicken with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
If the vegetables aren't fully cooked once the chicken is done, cover the slow cooker and turn it to high, cooking the vegetables until soft.

Notes

Make sure to remove the giblets from the chicken before cooking.
Adjust the seasonings to your taste for a personalized flavor.
