Steps

1Add sliced onion and minced garlic to the slow cooker.

2Place chicken thighs on top of the onion and garlic.

3Pour chicken broth over the chicken.

4Sprinkle smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt over everything.

5Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4.5 hours, until chicken shreds easily with a fork.

6Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred with two forks, discarding any excess fat.

7Strain the cooking liquid and discard the solids, or keep 0.5 cup of the liquid if you like it saucier.

8In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and worcestershire sauce.

9Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir in the barbecue sauce and a splash of cooking liquid if using.

10Warm through on high for 15 minutes.

11Serve on hamburger buns, with coleslaw on the side if desired.
