Slow Cooker Whole Mustard Glazed Chicken

Combine the mustard glaze ingredients in a small pot over low heat. Simmer, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Cool slightly, then place the glaze in a high speed blender and combine. Set aside. 

Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Check if the chicken contains giblets - remove and discard. Rub the chicken with half of the mustard glaze, saving the other half in the fridge. Place in a slow cooker.

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into eights. Place around the chicken in the slow cooker. Pour in the ginger ale over the sweet potatoes - making sure not to pour over the chicken or disturbing the mustard glaze. Generously season the chicken and sweet potatoes with salt and pepper.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker. Shred and remove the bones. If desired, use the sweet potatoes for this Tangy Mashed Sweet Potatoes recipe (it only takes about 10 minutes). Serve the chicken with the reserved mustard glaze. Enjoy!
