Crockpot Cranberry Chicken

1 Whole Chicken or 4 Chicken Breasts
1 Can Cranberry Sauce (whole or Jellied)
½ cup orange Juice
¼ cup Brown Sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1TBSP Corn Starch or other thickening agent

In a small bowl mix brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Rub the mix onto a whole chicken. Make sure you rub it under the skin as well. Pour ½ cup Orange Juice into Crock pot. Place Sugar rubbed chicken in the crock-pot with the juice. Spoon Cranberry sauce over chicken. Cover and cook 5 Hours on High or 8 Hours on Low
After the Chicken is finished remove it from the Crockpot and let it rest at least 10 minutes before slicing. While resting whisk in 1 Tbsp of Corn Starch into the drippins in the crockpot. Crank the crock pot on high until thickened. Makes some awesome gravy to serve the Chicken with! Serve with rice or potatoes, and of course who could forget the circle cranberry sauce!
