- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon oil

- Season the chicken thighs evenly on both sides.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the thighs skin-side down until golden and crispy.
- Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker, placing it skin-side up.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
