Shredded slow cooker honey chipotle chicken in a metal dish

We’re starting off the year with two of my favorite things: a slow cooker recipe and sweet and spicy food.

These slow cooker honey chipotle chicken sliders make an easy lunch or dinner or game day snack. The chicken would also be great in tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.
