shredded bbq chicken

2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
1.5 cups bbq sauce

Mix chili powder, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper together, then rub mixture evenly over the chicken and transfer to slow cooker. Pour 1/2 cup bbq sauce over chicken and toss to coat.  Cover and cook on low, 4-6 hours.

Transfer chicken to bowl and shred into bite-size pieces and cover to keep warm.

Microwave remaining cup of bbq sauce unti hot.  Toss shredded chicken with hot bbq sauce and 1 cup of the braising liquid; add more liquid as needed to keep meat moist.  Serve.
