I think that the skin needs to be left on.  Otherwise the chicken has no moist flavor.

Although the chicken was very tender, it may have been the most bland chicken dish I have ever made. I followed the recipe as written, even added more veggies. Terrible. Will need to come up with something to make the leftovers edible so it doesn't go to waste.

This recipe was wonderful. I de-skinned the chicken thighs and cooked it on low for the full 7 hours. It was simple- nutritious- delicious. I assembled it the night before, popped it in the crock pot in the morning and viola, it was ready when I got home.

Actually, haven't tried this yet, but sounds great. Question: does it matter is you used skinless or skin-on chix? What's the reason for skinless -- other than dietary concerns? I'm used to oven-baking with skin-on, but want to try slow cooking. (first attempt with boneless turkey breast was failure -- boiled like an egg, agh!)
