Need advice on whole fryer

[phlegmaticphrog]

I bought a whole fryer chicken the other day because I'm broke and it was cheap and looked good. Sadly, I haven't got an idea on what to do with it. I know I want to make it in the crock-pot because I don't have a roasting pan or anything and I'm already grossed out enough knowing I'll have to take the "giblets" out, so I don't really want to try and cut it up. I'm not even really sure what a giblet is XD

If anyone has any advice on how I should cook it or any recipes I'd really appreciate it :D

Oh, and should I thaw it out, since my stupid man-thing stuck it in the freezer?
