Roast chicken (slow cooker)

This delicious recipe is from Fix it and Forget It.  Had it last night with one of our fresh chickens.

1 T salt
2 t paprika
1 1/2 t onion powder
1 1/2 t garlic powder
1 1/2 t basil
1 t dry mustard
1 t cumin
2 t pepper
1/2 t thyme
1/2 t savory

2 T butter
2 c chopped onion
(original recipe also calls for 1 c chopped green pepper but I don't use)

1 roasting chicken

Combine the seasonings in a small bowl.

Saute the onion (and pepper, if you use it) and 3 T seasoning mix in butter until onions are golden.  Stuff chicken cavity with cooled onions.  Sprinkle the outside of the chicken with the remaining 1 T seasoning and rub in well.

Put the chicken in the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Put the juice from the chicken, the onions from the cavity, and 1/4 c flour in a saucepan and cook until thickened.  Add broth if you like it thinner.
