For an even more intense flavor, let the seasoned chicken sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slow cooking. The pickles used in this recipe are not meant to be eaten; they are primarily for flavor infusion. Discard them after cooking. Adjust the broiling time based on your oven. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Serve with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
