I almost forgot to post this recipe. This is the first time I ever tried making pulled chicken. I made it last week and it was a very good work-night meal. I would recommend it. Sadly, I didn't make a note about where the original recipe came from. I always like to give praise when it is due. My son, who really wanted pulled-pork that day, even enjoyed this chicken.

1 tablespoon yellow mustard
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons light brown sugar

1. Cover the bottom of a slow-cooker with the onions. Place the chicken on top of the bed of onions.
2. In a medium bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients and pour on top of the chicken
