Begin by seasoning the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, bourbon, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the crockpot, then pour the maple-bourbon mixture over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated.
Cut the pears in half, remove the cores, and place them cut-side up around the chicken in the crockpot.
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the chicken and pears for added flavor. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Once done, carefully remove the chicken and pears from the crockpot and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle some of the cooking liquid over the chicken and pears for extra flavor. Garnish with additional thyme sprigs for a beautiful presentation.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as creamy mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
