1. **Prepare the Chicken**: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This helps achieve crispy skin.
2. **Make the Spice Mix**: In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
4. **Cook in Slow Cooker**: Place the chicken breast-side up in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. **Optional Crisping Step**: If you’d like crispy skin, transfer the cooked chicken to a baking sheet and broil it in the oven for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
6. **Serve**: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before carving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
