- Ingredients
- non stick spray
- 4 whole corn,husks removed
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp cajun seasoning
- 1 whole chicken
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non stick spray. Lay the whole corn lengthways along the bottom of your slow cooker.
In a small bowl combine the butter and 2 tbsp of cajun seasoning. Put the chicken on a plate and loosen the skin on the breast. Push the butter cajun mixture underneath the skin and onto the breast meat underneath. Place the chicken breast side down on top of the corn cobs in your slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 -10 hours, or high for 4.
Remove the chicken when cooked. The pieces should pull away easily for serving. Remove the corn cobs and serve alongside the chicken. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp cajun seasoning over the meat.
Leave the juices in the bottom of the pan to cool and you will be left with a good stock for making a quick noodle soup.
