Put a whole roasting chicken in crock pot in morning. Dot with butter and sprinkle with dried parsley flakes and salt. Cook on low all day or high for 3-4 hours (kids can turn it on when they get home from school). Can be put in with no spices and it is ready to be de-boned and used for casseroles.
