1 tsp cumin
4 boneless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs) or 8 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
3 Tbsp orange marmalade
2 tsp grated orange zest
1. Mix enchilada sauce and barbecue sauce in a 6 qt or larger slow cooker
2. Mix chili powder and cumin in a small cup. Rub all over chicken. Put chicken in slow cooker and turn to coat with sauce.
3. Cover and cook on high 3 to 4 hours or on low 5 to 7 hours until chicken is cooked through.

If you like it spicy, add 1/4 tsp or more crushed chipotle chile pepper, if you like cilantro you can add 1/2 cup of that too!!!
