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.
3. **Season the Chicken**: Rub the olive oil all over the chicken, then sprinkle the spice mix generously over it, making sure to coat the inside cavity as well. Place lemon wedges inside the cavity for added flavor.
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.
