Place 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs in the bottom of a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker.
In a small bowl, stir together 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the chicken.
Zest and juice 1 medium lemon. Add the lemon juice to the slow cooker and sprinkle the lemon zest and 1 tablespoon minced garlic over the top of the chicken thighs.
Dot the top of the chicken with 6 tablespoons salted butter, sliced into tablespoon-size pieces.
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or high for 3 hours, until chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 172°F (74°C).
To garnish, slice 1 medium lemon to top the chicken and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot, drizzled with the juices.
