How to Cook a Chicken in a Slow Cooker with Temperature Probe

Looks yummy 😋

Looked like it came out really juicy ... How many slow cookers do you have now ?

Boy that was a easy cook looks like the new slow cooker is working out real well

Nice video ❤

That chicken looks GREAT 👍 😋
Nice n Tender n Juicy!!
Love it...thanks TTM

Looks great going to try it this week

Love ur videos..sorry for your loss..keep fightin the fight and keep cooking..

So easy and good. But Annie steals the show every time. She's so cute

Hey Jim that chicken looks most excellent :-) I want some :-) This my friend gets an Extra "BIG" thumbs up :-) Cool Slow Cooker you have too :-) Annie is one cool dog :-) Enjoy your Sunday :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!

The chicken looks so juicy and tasty. And the part where Annie gives the quality test, excellent video.

Chicken looks good, love little Annie i guess she is doing quality control ,she is just so cute :).

That looks good I love your vids keep up the good work

Your dog is cute

Jim thanks for the video man. Appreciate the mug you sent me. You wanted me to let you know when it arrived but the very next day after we last had contact I was shipped off in an ambulance. Both kidneys failed but finally got home on Friday with a box waiting for me! Already put wear and tear on it with green tea and coffee. Again, extremely appreciate it!

Anybody checked out TosTinMan merchandise? Should be a link in the video but if not, contact him and he'll direct you where to get it. QUALITY STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there's nothing better than a whole chicken cooked in the slow cooker.

Agree with others: that chicken looks tasty & just like a picture from a magazine. Annie’s new taste tester role might get her a gig someday!
How are your hands doing? Hope the pain has gone down some along with the swelling.
I’m going into first week of no more effective pain medication & having to use the old prescription that I’d built tolerance to at Christmas. Had been on same meds for about ten years so was surprised it lasted that long. Down side is the old pain medicine has Tylenol in it & taking the amount I need to stop pain started getting liver enzymes elevated (nothing gets rid of pain). So now it’s take those & hope for the best but at some point soon, that bottle will run out, too. Unsettling going into unknown & not having pain manageable as it had been. Sad the govt thinks they know what’s best for everyone when they seem to be getting caught being human & making poor decisions on personal choices themselves while telling us how we should live our lives.
Off that rant, but I’m still on for “Send Jim to Congress” to represent us chronic pain patients. You’re personality on these videos shows you as an easy going guy like your “easy cooking.” I think you’d be great telling them we’re being forgotten in this opioid “crisis” and there are way more people than they might comprehend who live in horrible pain every day.
Your chicken made me hungry so off to see what microwave magic meal is waiting for tonight.
Take care & I’ll look forward to your next video.

Great looking chicken, Jim, and Annie is definitely enjoying your culinary projects! (:

Looks good Jim! I have TOS, too, and you’re giving me some great ideas for easy and good tasting meals. Love Annie, she is adorable and her ears are too cute...what a wonderful companion for you.

Looks awesome, TTM, and rock on Annie!

Great blues music, more of that would be nice.

I have got to get me one of those. That would make cooking meat so simple.

Your chicken looked delicious. I'm like you, without a thermometer, I normally cook chicken in the crock until it falls apart. That new design crockpot is a good idea. Thanks for sharing😃

Wow, the secrete revealed to getting juicy chicken breast meat! Nice job Jim.

I with I could find a trivet to cook in mine so I can get all the juices to make gravy 😍

I'm drooling 😍

Very nice bro. It turned out so juicy and moist.

Interesting technique never thought of this.

Hey there, did I win the shirt?

Nice slow cooker....chicken looks nice and moist!

Looks really good and so juicy.

FDA Food Code recommends cooking chicken to 165°F (74°C) but the pasteurization of chicken is actually a function of both temperature and time. If you can hold your chicken at 145°F (63°C) for 8.5 minutes, you can achieve the same bacterial reduction as at 165°F (74°C), and you'll get even moister chicken! Breast meat will become dry if taken too far above 150°F (65.5°C), while the leg meat needs to reach the temperature range of 160-170°F (71-77°C) in order for the connective tissue to dissolve. (Letting it rest, as you did in the video, is critical to let the chicken finish - continuous rise in internal temperature after the chicken was removed from the oven is due to the significant mass of the whole chicken being cooked.) So basically, try a lower probe target temperature and you might like the results even more.

Thank you for sharing.

We bought this yesterday, thank you for this review

Looks like this turned out good!  Annie is adorable! She's the official "taster"! So cute!
You made the comment "the skin is never good in the crock pot" - and it is probably because you are not sautéing the meat before you cook it in the crock pot --- or browning the skin after it has cooked in the crock pot.  Martha Stewart is one of the experts on this type of cooking. She has some crock pot and pressure cooking cook books where she does more than just place the food into the crock pot/pressure cooker.

I bought a refurbished Martha Stewart Pressure Cooker - and it has a fabulous SAUTE' feature on it - that really browns very well. (I've never been able to get a pan so hot that it would brown the food in the way that this pressure cooker does without burning the food).

There are some crock pots and pressure cookers that come with a SAUTE' feature where you can brown your meats before they sit in the crock pot. Other cooks will cook their basic meat in the crock pot - and then will move the meat to the oven or toaster oven to brown the skin more.

The timing of this type of thing is going to make a big difference.
My grandmothers always browned their meats and it turned out really good.
I would need to know the timing, because I'm not a good enough cook to just eye ball it - and tell by how it is looking in the oven.

This is something to research.
I don't know exactly how long you'd need to brown this in an oven - and you'd sure not want to over cook it where they meat is overly tough.


Great video - I like your cooking videos and have learned a lot by watching you!
Thank you for reviewing this crock pot. It is one that I've been looking into because of the thermometer and the ability to program it and walk away - knowing that it will reset to "warm" - without me having to baby sit it!

I just ordered mine today and will receive it tomorrow. I'm eating an entire chicken for dinner manana

That's the crockpot I am planning to purchase this week with a probe.

Very helpful. Thank you

Thanks for the video. I am thinking of getting a new crockpot and thought one with a temperature probe would be nice. Chicken looked delicious.

Have you test the probe to see how accurate it is?

Is that a 6 quart?

How come nobody ever tell you the maximum size chicken or meat in 6 qt. Pot

They aint all that big
