Line the crock of the slow cooker with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up.
Remove skin from thighs, but not if using wings. Season lightly with salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. Pat seasoning into chicken, and place into slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, pineapple juice and soy sauce; pour around chicken. Cover and cook on low for about 5 to 6 hours.
Remove chicken from the slow cooker to a platter and loosely tent with aluminum foil; set aside to prepare glaze.
Turn cooker to high until mixture comes to a boil, or transfer to a saucepan for the stovetop. Whisk together the water and cornstarch until there are no lumps. Slowly stir into the boiling sauce until fully incorporated and continue boiling for about 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let rest a little bit.
Brush sauce over each chicken piece. Remaining sauce can be served at the table.
