1 Whole Fryer Chicken
1Tablespoon Poultry Seasoning
1 Teaspoon Thyme
1 Teaspoon Paprika
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
2 Medium Onions, peeled and Quartered
5 Medium Potatoes, washed and dryed
Take the giblet pack out of the chicken. Wash chicken good. Pat dry. Combine the spice mixture in a small bowl. Take and put some of the mixture in the cavity of the chicken and then on the out side put some melted butter or marg. all over it using your hands. Rub good. Take the rest of the spice mixture and put all over the chicken. Rub good. Put the two onions in the chicken cavity.
Wash hands. Next take the 5 potatoes and wrap each one in the aluminum foil. Pour 1/4 cup water in the bottom of a sprayed crock-pot. Put potatoes down in crockpot and then lay the chicken on top of the potatoes. Turn on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours or until chicken reaches 180. When done, take chicken out and put on serving plate to let rest for 10 minutes and then slice.
Take potatoes out of crock-pot and slit open and add sour cream and butter to these. You have a meal in it's self. If you do not want to just omit the water as the chicken makes it's own juice. The potatoes keeps the chicken from burning on the bottom. If you do not want the potatoes then just wad up some foil and put on bottom of crock-pot and lay chicken on it but if you do this then add the 1/4 cup water. Make sure the potatoes are wrapped good so they will not become mushy with the juice in the bottom of the crock-pot.

ICE CREAM TRICK
Are you having a party or baby shower and serving cake? A easy way to serve ice cream is to take a muffin pan and line it with cup cake cups. Take a scoop and put a large scoop of ice cream in each one and freeze. Then when you are ready to serve the cake just get it out of the freezer and seve this with the cake. Now don't ask me how to store these without crushing the cups. I guess you would have to have a lot of room in your freezer for these but they are nice when most people just like a small amount of ice cream. Even nice to have for the kids when they want some ice cream. Cheaper than buying the cups of cream. Even better if you go to KFC save the little bowls that they put the mashed potatoes in now and wash out good and put some ice cream in these. Just the right amount of serving.
Also, to save your boxed ice cream from getting ice pieces in it just put a layer of plastic wrap over it and then add the top of the lid back on. This does work.
