Question

How long to cook a whole chicken in a crock pot on high?

Answer 1

Crockpots may vary but generally, the LOW setting is about 200 degrees F. and the HIGH setting is about 300 degrees F. One hour on HIGH is approximately equal to 2 to 2-1/2 hours on LOW. Most crockpot recipes recommend cooking 8-10 hours on LOW. Some recipes recommend the HIGH setting based on the nature and texture of the food. You will have to judge your recipe accordingly. For example, beef cuts will be better cooked on LOW for 8-10 hours to get a more tender texture, where chicken can be cooked on HIGH 2-1/2 to 3 hours.

Answer 2

Depending on the size of the bird, 3 1/2 to 5 hours.

Answer 3

I have used a crock pot for many years, you can't successfully cook a whole chicken, you need to cut it into 8 pieces, high setting 3-4 hours, low 6-8, I tried a whole chicken once, low setting for 8 hours, it was still raw near the bone on the breast.
