Ingredients
- 1½ to 2 pounds chicken thighs boneless and skinless
- 1½ to 2 pounds chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- 1½ cups barbecue sauce tomato-based (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 to 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce adjust for heat, plus 2 tablespoons of the adobo sauce

Instructions
- In a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine 1 cup of the barbecue sauce, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder. Add the chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir to coat evenly. Cover and cook on the low setting for 3 to 5 hours, or until the chicken can be easily shredded with a fork.
