Roasted Chicken in the Crock-pot

This was really supposed to be more of a rotisserie style chicken, but the skin didn't get as crispy as a regular rotisserie chicken.  It was delicious and much less hot/stressful than making it in an oven.  In fact, this would be a perfect idea for a small family's Thanksgiving bird!
