How can i make a whole chicken more interesting?

[ZeldaUpNorth]

Wanted to have a chicken salad with new potatoes but whenever i cook chicken its really bland. I've tried putting lemon in it but "they" didnt like that. Any other suggestions? Oh its to put in the slow cooker if that makes a difference.

Mix brown sugar with oil and paprika and rub it into chicken before cooking!

Thanks gonna try that. What ratios do i need? More sugar or paprika?

2 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoon of paprika, 3 tablespoon of oil and a few pinches of salt. Very simple but nice!
