1. In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
2. Arrange the potatoes, carrots, onion, and half of the garlic in slow cooker. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of spice mixture over veggies.
3. In new bowl, combine room temp butter, rest of spice mixture, and rest of garlic. Rub this butter mixture underneath the chicken skin.
4. Place the chicken in the slow cooker over veggies.
5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Note: For a crispy skin, you can transfer the chicken to a baking tray and broil it in the oven for a few minutes (5 minutes or so) after slow cooking. Make sure to keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before carving.
Serve the juicy chicken with the vegetables from the slow cooker as a delicious and complete meal.
