1

Gather the ingredients.
2

Combine salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, thyme, white pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl.
3

Rub the seasoning mixture over the entire chicken to season it evenly.
4

Place the seasoned chicken in a large resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
5

Remove the chicken from the bag and cook it in a slow cooker on Low until the bone is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 4 to 8 hours; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
