Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken

I've realized one thing from this recipe...I don't use my slow cooker nearly as much as I should. 

I've made this recipe before just haven't shared it with you. It's pretty much the only recipe I use that includes my slow cooker. That's a problem! Slow cookers are awesome. You come home from work and your dinner is ready! The only thing I had to do when I got home from work was shred the chicken! Success. Additional success, we had leftovers!

Aside from the ease of the recipe it's also very tasty. The honey really adds a nice sweetness while the chiles add a kick of spiciness. I made this for a family BBQ last summer. I did one bunch with out the chiles and one with. Both very tasty, just want to make one a little more kid friendly without the spice.

 The recipe calls for thighs, I substituted boneless, skinless breasts which worked just as nice. The first night we had these, I served them on rolls. The next night I served over cornbread. Both ways were very good. It's nice to change up leftovers. 

Make this for yourself or for a crowd! I promise you'll (and they'll) enjoy!
