Reviews:
We enjoyed this. It was quite spicy with the 1 tsp of chipotle powder. but not too spicy. The chicken was very tender and moist. We served it on whole wheat buns. - Anonymous We love pulled pork but wanted to try something different. This was very good; the chipotle chile and the smoked paprika added just the right amount of smoke and spice. - Debbie, Ma
