Slow cooker question about roasting whole chicken

[JamNan]

Newbie slow cooker-user here (4-days).
OK it's been in the SlowCooker since this morning and smells luffly. I used a small organic free-runner chicken and placed it on a bed of leeks and celery with a little water and a stock cube (recipe said scrunch up balls of tin foil but I don't fancy doing that much). I've got it on high but the top of the bird looks white and uncooked even though I still have 2 hours to go. Due to serve at 6pm.

Should I turn it over? Will it brown? Will I poison the family because it looks so uncooked on the breast? Help someone...

please

no it won't brown - it needs to go in the oven for that

I won't brown, but it will taste lovely, I do this all the time

I would brown in the oven for around 20 mins

Slow cookers don't make things brown and crispy

Oh thanks Fergoose, I just put a knife in the breast and it was perfectly cooked. Have turned it down now to low and will take off the the skin before serving.

Thanks everyone cross posted there. Will report back later.

It was delish!
Enough left over for a nice soup too.

sounds yummy!
