For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken thighs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This will add depth and complexity to the dish. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir this slurry into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs yield the most flavorful and tender results in the slow cooker. However, boneless, skinless thighs can be substituted if preferred; reduce cooking time by 30 minutes. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your pineapple.
