The browning step adds a lovely flavour to the end dish and crisps the skin, but skip it if you don't have time.
For a leaner meal, remove the skin from the chicken thighs before cooking.
Adjust or change the seasoning altogether on your allspice slow cooker chicken thighs to suit your preferences.
