Place the seasoned chicken into a large resealable bag and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.

Take the chicken out of the bag and cook it in a slow cooker on Low for 4 to 8 hours, or until the meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the thickest part of the thigh near the bone; it should read 165°F (74°C).
