  2. In a bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring every piece is well coated.
  4. Cover and cook the chicken on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until tender and shreds easily.
