If you like horribly dry and overlooked chicken it's perfect.

Use a dutch oven, sear first, then leave it in the oven around 200-250 F. Celery and onions, maybe carrots.
I think the method is called en coccotte. |

Quoted:
Basically wanting to do a whole chicken vs a roast because I'm tired of roast. Anyway, what kind of veggies? Will the chicken make a greasy, goop sort of mess ? I am not as snobbish about this as some, but you are basically steaming the chicken. I'm not opposed to the oven cooking bags either, but the chicken is going to actually BROWN a little in that bag. Not so in a crock pot. I've done whole chicken in a crock pot by putting the veggies in the bottom and setting the chicken in on top of it and letting it set there til the chicken falls off the bone. Was it decent food? Yes. Would I do it now that I'm a better cook and know how easy the other ways are? Nope. The TROUBLE is this--the beauty of a whole chicken is that nice crispy brown skin you get with high-heat roasting (which only takes a little over an hour in a hot oven, and is the easiest thing in the world to do). So you're going to end up with a pale, fatty stew. Not goop, but nothing like the glory that a whole chicken can be. If you're going to do chicken in a crock pot, skinless breasts/parts make more sense. 
ETA: With all my naysaying, I'm going through the crock pot thread and saw this. Chicken in a crock pot |

Skin will be inedible after cooking, but you will have a tasty bird. |

gonna go against the grain here. I use the crockpot to turn a whole chicken into shredded bbq chicken. night before-remove neck/gizzards etc if present. pat dry with paper towels. rub down well inside and out with rub of choice. put on a plate/platter and into fridge. day of-wake up in morning and get ready for work. just before leaving, take chicken out of fridge and place in crock pot set to low(no need to add anything, just put the bird in). plug it in, put the lid on and go to work. get home after work and debone the chicken(it'll be easy to do, just make sure you don't miss the small bones and throw the skin away). place meat into serving bowl and cover with some bbq sauce. shred chicken(using forks) and mix in bbq sauce. serve in manner of your choosing.

You can't bbq a chicken. Not legally anyway

Not legally anyway i'll have to respectfully disagree. the definition of bbq as a verb, while often vague, is generally agreed upon by most as cooking meat slowly over low heat(crock pot on low meets that definition). additionally, sometimes bbq is used as an adjective to describe meat served with certain types of sauce added. mixing the shredded chicken w/a bbq sauce meets that definition. imo-to go further than the above and add qualifiers to each is an exercise in semantics |

This works
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper 1 large onion, cut in eighths 1 lemon, cut in quarters 1 (5 1/2 to 6 pound) whole chicken Directions: 1.Mix paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl; set aside. 2.Place 3/4 of the onion on bottom of slow cooker crock. 3.Rinse chicken and pat dry. Add remaining onion and lemon to chicken cavity. 4.Sprinkle all sides with seasoning mixture. Place chicken on top of onions in crock. 5.Cover slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 8 hours. Chicken is well done when meat temperature registers 165°F in the breast or 175°F-180°F in the thickest part of the thigh.

Ketchup on chicken doesn't make it bbq. |

If you want to try something different try adding chicken breasts, legs wings in a crockpot and add 1 can of orange soda or even root beer and then let that cook for about 6 to 8 hours. It's WONDERFUL.
