How to make chipotle bbq chicken thighs in the crock pot?

First, place all of the ingredients (besides chicken) in a food processor and blend.

Next, place the chicken and half the sauce in the crock pot. Save the remainder of the sauce.

Cover and Cook on low.

When the chicken has finished cooking, place the chicken on a cookie sheet lined with foil.

Brush the reserved sauce and broil for 5-10 minutes. This only takes a few extra minutes and it is totally worth the extra step.

This last step is what gives the chicken that amazing golden finish and the sauce starts to glaze. Yum!
