Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid crowding, and sear undisturbed for 4ā5 minutes until the skin is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 2 minutes, then transfer to the slow cooker insert.
