Steps:
- Season chicken thighs with paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and cook, without moving, until golden brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Flip thighs over and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add potatoes, cut side down, and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add carrots and onions and cook until onions are soft and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup chicken broth, scraping up all the browned bits.
- Dissolve corn starch in 1/4 cup chicken broth and pour into the skillet. Stir until well combined.
- Place chicken thighs over vegetables, cover, and cook until carrots are tender and chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:
- Place onion in a lightly greased 6-quart slow cooker; top with potatoes and carrots. Combine 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, broth, and next 3 ingredients. Pour broth mixture over vegetables. Combine paprika, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper; rub evenly over chicken thighs, and arrange on top of vegetables.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for air-chilled, free-range chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
- Generous Seasoning: Don't be shy with the spices and seasonings. The chicken, carrots, and potatoes should be well-coated to enhance their flavors.
- Browning is Key: Take the time to brown the chicken thighs in a hot skillet before braising them. This adds a delicious depth of flavor.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with chicken and vegetables. Give them enough space to brown and cook evenly.
- Use a Quality Broth: Choose a flavorful broth, such as chicken or vegetable broth, to enhance the braising liquid.
- Low and Slow: Braise the chicken and vegetables over low heat for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Garnish for Presentation: Before serving, garnish the braised chicken thighs with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, for an appealing presentation.
