¼ tsp salt

For serving

6 hamburger buns
dill pickle slices (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, stir together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Pat the chicken thighs dry and rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides.

In the slow cooker insert, whisk together 1 cup of the barbecue sauce, the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs into the sauce in a single layer, turning once to coat.
