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 and sear, undisturbed, for 4–5 minutes until the skin is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 2 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker insert, skin-side up.
