Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then rub with oil and sprinkle with salt.
Wrap in aluminum foil and place on bottom of crock pot, enough to cover the bottom in a single layer.
Sprinkle chicken generously with salt and pepper (and any other spices you may want–I went simple with this one).
Place on top of wrapped potatoes.
Cook on low 4-6 hours.
This meat just falls apart, so instead of removing the whole chicken all at once, I just got a fork and started taking the meat off and setting it aside.
Once done, carefully take out the potatoes, remove foil and eat!
