For the braise

- 6 cloves garlic, smashed
- 3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts in water, drained and halved
- ½ cup pitted kalamata olives
- 2 tbsp capers, drained
- 1 cup bone broth
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar

- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 3/4 tsp of the salt, the turmeric, and the ginger, then rub the mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken.

Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down in a single layer (work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding) and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 2 minutes. Transfer the seared thighs to the slow cooker insert.
