Whole chicken in the crockpot question....

[boysmom2]

I need ideas for what to add to my chicken.  I've made a whole chicken in the crockpot before, adding a bottle of barbecue sauce to it, but I want to try something else this time.  Ideas?  TIA!

A bottle of italian dressing and a jar of apricot jam!  Yummy.... kind of like sweet n sour chix, but better! 

sometimes I add carrots and onion.

serve over rice.

I actually just cook it totally plain most of the time and then shred it for a variety of dishes, like enchiladas ect.

I cut up an onion, a carrot, and two stalks of celery, and put those on top of it. And some black pepper, lots of salt, and pour in a half-cup of chicken stock. Yum!

I also do this, once or twice a week.

Thanks everybody!  For those of you who cook it plain, do you add water or anything?  And how long do you cook it?  Thanks!
